<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1030104, member: 11521&quot;]val,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would recommend that you only buy slabbed coins (and only the top 4 TPGs) until you learn how to grade and until you learn how to distinguish a Proof from a Business Strike. Part of your education should be to buy a grading book (the ANA Grading Standards is a good one) and READ IT and then go to coin shops and coin shows and look at as many slabbed coins as you can to hone your grading skills. A good way to do that is to cover the grade with your thumb and try to guess the grade. You will be surprised at how soon you will improve your grading skills (that is IF you know what to look for - and that comes from reading a grading book).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
