<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 216304, member: 8566&quot;]here&#039;s the back story on the coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>this coin was purchased in January from a shop that was closing.&nbsp; i was shown the coin last night and asked to grade it.&nbsp; i offered my opinion on the grade and then priced it based on that grade and availability.&nbsp; the buyer told me how much he had paid and i was very confused.&nbsp; i took it home with me and spent an hour examining it to see what was up with the coin - i couldn&#039;t understand why my initial grade was wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>after several inspections, i decided that my initial grade was correct; the buyer paid too much.&nbsp; sadly, the buyer was my dad.&nbsp; since i was able to correctly grade it and explain the reasons, as reward, he gave me the coin.&nbsp; i am just starting to collect and it&#039;s amazing how much i have learned over the years by just tagging along with dad to coin shows over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>i&#039;ll discuss the grades and the reasons for them shortly.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
