<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stephan77, post: 2162299, member: 74244&quot;]When wanting to buy higher grade coins such as that, stick with slabbed coins from the top 3 graders. Always ask yourself this question, &quot;If the coin is really so nice as it may seem, why wouldn&#039;t a seller get it slabbed, and thereby get more money for the coin even when including the grading fees?&quot; Especially a coin dealer. There are various exceptions, but that&#039;s a good rule to start with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck with your collection. I&#039;m working on a set of proof Indian cents, the ones I can afford, the rest will be 63 and 64 type circulation strikes, or lesser grade if I can&#039;t afford that. It&#039;s a formidable task, but frankly, in my view, half the fun of collecting is the chase looking for the coins you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
