<p>[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4242149, member: 15481"]Hello [USER=75143]@hotwheelsearl[/USER] What a thoroughly written post. </p><p>We all decide at what level it is worth buying old coins, and I’m glad you are in “positive” terrain. I still think you could have gotten better value for your money, though. If I was to give you a recommendation, I would say get off ebay. I see that some collectors still make some good deals there, but they are few and far between. Buying directly from a collector who appreciates his/her honor over making money on shenanigans, you could get a nice silver coin in VF or even gVF for fifty bucks. At auction houses, you can get a lot of coins in VF to EF for 25 each. I’m not criticizing your deal making here, because your post is well balanced. I’m criticizing eBay for what it has become. They used to have deals, now they just have lots of shenanigans.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
