<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 24717327, member: 100459&quot;]Like most of us, we have our own interests in our collecting.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a large collection of certified coins.&nbsp; My first exposure to certification was when I bought my first $20 Gold Liberty Head from a local dealer.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t have a clue as to what certification would mean.&nbsp; The dealer told me he was going to a &quot;show&quot; and he could have my coin &quot;certified&quot;.&nbsp; I paid about $1,200 for the coin.&nbsp; I also bought a $10 Gold Liberty Head coin from him.&nbsp; When he came back, the $10 coin was certified by NGC as MS 61 and my $20 Gold Liberty Head came back as a problem coin and could not be certified because there was a slight scratch on the face of the front of the coin.&nbsp; Since then, I have not sent off any coins to be certified, but, I have bought many coins that were already certified.&nbsp; A little more money and a comfortable night&#039;s sleep.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
