<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1268998, member: 17261&quot;]That&#039;s a great way to learn. Do you have any coin shops near you? I enjoying hanging out at my fav shop, shooting the breeze and looking at Lincolns (raw and slabbed) for a couple hours. It&#039;s a lot cheaper than buying &quot;learning slabs&quot;. LOL </p><p><br /></p><p>One of my favorite shop attractions is body bag slabs. The owner and I discuss these all the time, he always has a whole box of stuff that wouldn&#039;t grade. If there&#039;s good $$$ to be made, he will crack and cross-submit to PCGS/NGC to see what comes back. A good test for me is his raw Lincolns he&#039;s thinking about submitting, he always asks my grade opinions.....he has an amazing memory cause months later he&#039;ll tell me how I did. He&#039;s a sharp, sharp guy, he quit his job as an aerospace engineer to open a coin shop.....pretty crazy, huh? Anyhow, if you have a good shop with a friendly owner nearby, it&#039;s THE PLACE to learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
