<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 2156380, member: 29452&quot;]I agree that there are some dealers who downplay he grade, as well as up-play it.&nbsp; When I first started out, I went to buy an UNC 1916 Barber quarter.&nbsp; It was sold to me as such.&nbsp; Awhile later I let another dealer look at it and told me it was XF.&nbsp; And he brought out a true UNC of the same year to compare.&nbsp; He was right.&nbsp; It&#039;s the dealers (some) who prey on newbies in collecting, trying to pass off coins that are not the grade they claim.&nbsp; Big difference between an XF and MS Barber Quarter.&nbsp; Once I got to know the series and learned to grade a bit better myself, i came to know when my leg was being pulled.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Or some are like car dealers, you go in looking for a particular piece, but they want to sell you something else and attempt to push it on you, telling you all the finer points of why you should have it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
