<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 987684, member: 112&quot;]No disrepsect intended here but based on your comments it sounds like you do not really have the experience to judge exactly what has or has not happened to the coin. And rather than risk a good bit of money you would be far better off buying a coin slabbed by NGC or PCGS than you ever would buying one raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for values - it can range from 20% to 80% of the same coin if problem free. And it takes a good deal of experience to determine where in that range any given coin will fall. That&#039;s why buying problem coins is such a risky business. </p><p><br /></p><p>Say a problem free example is worth $500. That means you might pay as much as $400 for a coin that is only worth $100. Not the best of ideas and it is precisely why so many collectors end up being told years later that their collection is only worth a fraction of what they thought it was worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
