<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1300638, member: 26302&quot;]OP, I will echo many excellent posts here. </p><p><br /></p><p>First, why if you are neew to collecting are you worried about trying to buy the absolute highest known grade of a common coin? These coins are for the virtual ******* (self censored <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)matches that are registry sets. Not a game to play when starting out. If I had the power I would forbid you to even look at highest graded common coins. Start with learning how to grade, then buying coins you agree with the grade, and buy a few rare coins. If ultra high common coins later become your forte, great, but start off slowly with historically valued coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, PCGS price guides are ONLY for PCGS graded coins, and usually high at that. This is triply true of highest known graded coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third, in the coin world, especially for new collectors, if something is too good to be true, there is a reason. If someone is quoting you a too good to be true deal, and you don&#039;t know why, come here and ask us. 99% of the time there is a REASON why that is not such a deal, but you are simply unaware of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps, and take it slow. I know when getting into coin collecting it seems so wonderful and you just want to dive in, but I think later you will be glad you didn&#039;t jump right in spending thousands right away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
