[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 3195262, member: 34652"]Luckily I never had enough money to make any really expensive mistakes when I was just getting started. Some things I wouldn’t do now that I did back then we’re buying 1000 “unsearched” wheats from one of those tv shows, buying a “MS66” morgan off eBay in a basement slab, buying a few “unsearched” rolls of wheats off eBay and beginning to buy silver just after it started to come down from the record highs back in 2009ish. I can say that I’ve never bought a fake, as far as I know. I have had some nice scores over the years to make up for my earlier mistakes. Purchased a 1963 Franklin in a pcgs rattler graded 64. Sent it to ngc and got 64FBL. Bought a raw 55 Bugs Bunny which got 66FBL from ngc and bought a 1950 in ngc 66 which I sent in for regrade and came back 66FBL.[/QUOTE]
