<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 636582, member: 19532&quot;]I do have someone I trust look at certain coins for me at major auctions, though by no means all of them.&nbsp; It only makes sense if a coin is of a certain grade/value.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think I have gotten better and better at grading the series I collect but do not think I am anywhere near on the level of where I need to be.&nbsp;&nbsp; I do&nbsp; think some collectors overestimate their grading ability (certainly not all, though).&nbsp; Also,&nbsp; I can&#039;t get to most shows and there is the advantage of having someone see the coin in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>So it has worked for me but you better have someone you trust and appreciates the kind of coins you are looking for.&nbsp; Just my experience.&nbsp; I also recognize that I bought some &quot;dreck&quot; my first year or so back in this hobby and want to avoid it in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
