<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 13435, member: 578&quot;]Robert,</p><p><br /></p><p>You sound like you&#039;re on the right track now.</p><p>Yes, you have been given some very good advice. (these folks are great, aren&#039;t they?)</p><p><br /></p><p>About your polished coin; If it has beed buffed, you may not be able to see signs of abraision with your naked eye, but believe me, they&#039;re there. </p><p>One thing you&#039;ll need, as you collect coins, is a good loupe. (magnifyer) Then you&#039;ll be able to see a lot of things that you couldn&#039;t before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now about &quot;problem&quot; coins. That term refers to a wide range of things, but mostly it means that the coin has sustained some type of damage, whereas a &quot;problem-free&quot; coin is totally original and undamaged.</p><p>Now, I won&#039;t tell anyone not to buy problem coins, as long as they know what they&#039;re getting. It&#039;s not up to me to decide what someone else can afford, or where their collecting interests lie. The only thing I can say, is that I have some problem coins that I would not have been able to afford had they been problem-free. (I am a collector, not an investor)</p><p>So, Robert, I hope you&#039;ll continue to join in our discussions, and remember; collect what you like, and never spend more than you can afford to loose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
