[QUOTE="Silverfinger©, post: 4483405, member: 112311"]I collect silver & gold coins from the period 1930-1945, I try to buy only coins that are UNC or AUNC grade if possible, price wise I always believe something is only worth as much as you are willing to pay for it, I paid over the odd for some antique militaria decades ago because I really wanted it and it was super rare, but its now caught up and surpassed the market value. I can tell the difference between a dog of a coin and a nice one, and use the excellent catalogue of world coins books, numista and image searches of other coins of the same that I am after as a comparison sometimes, but I could still miss something important or get it wrong, that's where anyone on here who can help me with any coins I have seen and am interested in buying but just want another set of eyes (or a 100) to help me as I learn this new hobby of mine. I am considering bidding on some of these three US Philippines coins if they turn out to be good, to me they look quite nice, but a nice bright coin could of been polished at some time in its life which I don't want, I don't mind cleaned though, as nothing I buy is going for grading, do any members here think any of these coins are of the UNC or AUNC grade which I am after. I apologise for the quality of any pictures as they are not my own, and will show all relevant ones that are available This is the 50 [ATTACH=full]1113361[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1113362[/ATTACH] This is the 20 [ATTACH=full]1113363[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1113365[/ATTACH] And finally the 10 [ATTACH=full]1113366[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1113367[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
