<p>[QUOTE="Bill Reich, post: 2648451, member: 84251"]What should I have tipped me off the most? Seller claimed it to be AU and I compared it to online pics of AU examples but must have missed something. Any suggestions for sources of learning rudimentary grading? I don't want to be taken at the auction or LCS when I start obtaining more expensive coins. My LCS guy is not much of a talker so not much help in teaching. I like raw coins which compounds my problem. Slabs just seem to disconnect me from the history of the coin. Yes, I wear protective gloves!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
