<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mralexanderb, post: 1442933, member: 7851&quot;]jhinton, I mostly agree with your preference for high end XF AU coins over the low grade MS coins. Once, I bought a raw &quot;MS64&quot; 1921 Peace$ from a well known coin dealer. I paid decent money but I always had my doubts due to the difficulty in grading these high relief coins. I went back to the coin show the next day and showed the coin to other dealers. They (3) all to me that it was an AU coin. They saw wear where, then,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I could not distinguish between wear and the strike that this coin may and often does have. I had no problem returning the coin to the dealer but it left a bad taste in my mouth knowing that a well known dealer had this coin in a 2x2 holder marked MS64. He was just waiting to take advantage of someone who wanted a really nice MS &#039;21 Peace $. I later,that day, bought a beautiful AU P$ for $130 and was very satisfied. </p><p>This story was related in an earlier thread some years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t need to spend huge amounts of money to get a coin that fits my preferences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
