<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 904740, member: 307&quot;]welcome to the neighborhood, usc. The primary place where I would be concerned about counterfeits is on eBay. There are plenty out there, so be careful, but as many have said if you deal with someone known and reputable, you can buy with confidence.</p><p><br /></p><p>As with any collecting, knowledge is going to save mistakes.

The most common regret that I hear is that people eventually have to upgrade their coins for their sets. The reason for the regret is generally that they lose money as they try to sell the lower graded coin to offset the price of the higher graded coin. Typically had they been a bit more patient to buy (which usually means that they would have had more money to spend on the coin) and more selective in which coin they eventually bought, that they could have built their type set for substantially less.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that made sense. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, welcome to you and your son![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
