Of course you don&#039;t have any business buying it either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I&#039;m not trying to be rude, I&#039;m just being honest. It&#039;s foolish for people who don&#039;t know what they are doing to spend more than just a few dollars on coins. It&#039;s just too dang easy to lose your shirt doing that.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s nothing wrong woth enjoying the hobby, I love to see people enjoying the hobby. But it enjoy it without wasting your money.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to learn how to grade then instead of spending your money on buying coins that you can&#039;t grade, spend that money on going to coin shows and buying books. The more you learn about coins the easier it becomes to learn how to grade. And you&#039;ll see all the graded coins you could ever want to see at coin shows. And you&#039;ll learn a lot just by being there besides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
