<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 796873, member: 19765"]Expensive lesson to learn for sure but as someone already mentioned, you haven't lost anything until you sell. Hopefully it's not as bad as it seems. The text books and especially the Greysheet and the Red Book are to be used as a guide or learning tools only. Guides are only a small part and often just glanced at for informational purposes. My guess is most ppl just look at these, and if they truly want a coin then they buy it . I'm sure you will do better next time. As far as ANACS goes, IMO they are just as good as PCGS or NGC. I may get flak for saying that but the coin is only as good as it is. In other words, it doesn't matter if it's a Peace dollar graded by PCGS as a MS64, if you don't like something about it then you're not gonna buy it. Simple math says: Buy the coin, not the slab or slabber. Better buying habits next time for certain, so in that regard I don't think you did too bad. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
