<p>[QUOTE="tcore, post: 114848, member: 2949"]When I was new, I didn't want to start out collecting low grade, circulated, commom coins. But, if you don't do some reading and lots of looking at coins, it <b>is</b> true that you can get burned pretty easily. If you're interested in purchasing slabbed coins, I suggest doing lots of looking around on auction sites like Teletrade and Heritage to get an idea of what you're looking at. Also, take a look at how a coin can often double or triple in price between two grades such as MS64 and MS65. Also, if you're interested in Washington Quarters, take a look at realized auction prices with pictures. See what grades of coins (and their associated prices) suit your fancy...and your pocket book. If you find that you in general like MS63 and think that they will fit your budget and desire for your collection, get those. If you like MS66 coins and they fit the budget, get them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
