<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tonphil1960, post: 22864, member: 1629&quot;]I went to my first show this weekend since being back in the hobby for a short time. I bought a few Barber Dimes, all were no problem coins in Fine of better. After I get them home and upon further inspection I found one which the dealer had graded EF was only a VG. The price reflected a Fine coin. Is it common for dealers to overgrade and underprice coins. I did not get ripped off as the price was low enough but the point is if I wanted a VG that&#039;s what I would have bought in the first place. I did learn one thing though, I know my grading skills are rusty but I know if I had taken a magnified look at the show I never would have bought it. </p><p>Look closely at the shows and I will get what I want. </p><p>From now on I will take the loupe and the prices for my grades and get what I pay for.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>Regards Tony[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
