[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2076856, member: 73489"]I'm talking about telemarketers and Ebay.....their main focus is U.S. coins and probably MSD's. I see your point, but unfortunately it's not the 1950's or 1960's where you could go to your local trusted coin dealer and buy coins at affordable prices and know what you are buying/getting. When you pay thousands of dollars for a coin and you aren't rich, then you want the certainty of knowing what you paid for. Would I buy an ungraded coin from a trusted dealer who told me he could give it to me at a price 2-3 grades low ? Probably....but that's the exception to the rule. I will touch and feel modern gold coins, and I hope to buy some low-60's Saints in the future that are loose/ungraded and I'll touch those...but I'm certainly not going to break out my MS-65s or future higher-graded or CAC coins, that's for sure !:D I do agree with your 'getting close to my coins' sentiments, Medor. But I'll reserve that for coins closer to bullion melt. ;)[/QUOTE]
