<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4897958, member: 101855"]If you begin to buy expensive U.S. coins, let's say $500 +, it is very much to your advantage to be certified coins. My experience has been that most significant coins that are not certified are raw for a reason, and those reasons are seldom to your advantage. Many of those coins have problems that prevent them from getting a straight grade. In addition, with China making large numbers of counterfeits, that must always be in the back of you mind, especially with circulated Morgan Dollars. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don't think that buying common dates will protect you. It won't. They Chinese are making plenty of fake common date pieces in base metals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
