<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 3841977, member: 69089&quot;]If you look back through the thread, you&#039;ll see that several of us suggested she start with common, lower value SLABBED coins on Ebay, not raw coins... either the 64 Kennedy she was originally interested in, or coins from her father&#039;s birth year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s a disservice to the OP to paint Ebay with a blanket condemnation. Can she get ripped off there? Sure, if she doesn&#039;t know what she&#039;s doing. But the way to learn how to negotiate Ebay safely and successfully is with practice, and the coins being suggested are a reasonably safe way to start that learning process.&nbsp; If you&#039;ve been burned on Ebay, my condolences. I&#039;ve bought coins there, occasionally, for many years and have never been burned. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=107894]@Dnna[/USER], the key is to acquire solid knowledge of the coins you&#039;re shopping for, BEFORE you start shopping.&nbsp; Learn to recognize warning signs (poor photos, for example, among others). Always be skeptical. Always keep your emotions in check. And always be willing to walk away. The coin you want can be found later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
