[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 8336004, member: 19250"]Buying coins raw on line is a crap shoot! Unless you can return them for a full refund if not liked. One doesn't need to buy graded specimens, one does need to know what they are actually looking at! Life is a learning experience, if you don't strive to learn something new daily ...your living in the dark ages. Have I purchased detailed coins damn skippy.....but were purchased for a reason ,knowingly....mostlly rareity, or die marriages. My advice to the OP is to STOP buying and beging learning! As to what your buying. Better dates and mm should be apporached in the raw state with caution as one should expect that if it looks to good...why isnt it already slabed? I say this not as a put down....but as solid advice. Knowlege is power.... from the" student "who sat in the front desk..."at the school of hard knocks." Mistakes you learn by true... you learn not to make them again. Just my honest opinion....oh BTW ...a slab coin isn't and shouldn't be a safty zone, one can screw the pooch just as bad buying a slab as raw...again Knowlege is the answer.[/QUOTE]
