<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 653763, member: 15309&quot;]I will give you two bits of advice.&nbsp; First, please do not attempt to become and ICG or ANACS crossover specialist and expect to make money with your level of experience.&nbsp; The odds are stacked against you.&nbsp; The game you are trying to play is hard enough for professional dealers to pull off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, I would not start your coin collecting career with SLQ&#039;s.&nbsp; This is the most expensive and difficult series to grade that you indicated you are interested in.&nbsp; At this point, you should really be trying to hone your grading skills.&nbsp; The only way to do that is to view hundreds, thousands of coins.&nbsp; Viewing that many SLQ&#039;s is going to be impossible.&nbsp; I suggest you start with Morgan Dollars and Mercury Dimes.&nbsp; Both of the series can provide you with a grading education at a minimum of cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, you stated that you feel the strike, luster, and preservation of the SLQ all meet the standard for an MS65 SLQ.&nbsp; Respectfully, how do you know this?&nbsp; How many uncirculated SLQ&#039;s have you seen?&nbsp; Again, learning the TPG standards for a series usually requires viewing hundreds of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a point of reference, here is what an MS66 1926 SLQ looks like.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Standing%20Liberty%20Quarters/SLQ1926NGCMS66-4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>An MS65 will be close to the same quality with maybe a few more small marks or one major mark somewhere on the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
