<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 17509, member: 578&quot;]The difference in pricing, among coins, has a lot to do with how well they are marketed, which in turn can create a demand for them. We are often led to believe that a PR-69 or an MS-69 is better than the same coin that hasn&#039;t been assigned a numerical grade. The truth is, if you are a coin collector, a nice undamadged example is all you would want, and you won&#039;t have to pay multiples to get it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s bad to buy any coin that you have no idea about. The first step in your coin collecting hobby, should be to obtain all the books and reference materials you will need to make you a knowledgable collector. Of course, learning is a never ending process, and there are many ways to learn, but I know of no more expensive way than learning from your purchasing mistakes. Oh, and by the way, it&#039;s OK to buy BU as well as AU coins, after you learn to tell the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what you need to look for:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/5/4693/1942-2-over-1-mercury-dime-fine-9-9-03-3.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/5/4693/1942-2-over-1-mercury-dime-fine-9-9-03-3.jpg" rel="nofollow">LINK (click here)</a> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll need lots of supplies, including a magnifying glass. You&#039;ll need to get your supplies before you start purchasing coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you will consider the advice I have offered. I&#039;m sure you will enjoy the hobby better, and stay in it longer, if you go into it well prepared and well educated.</p><p>With all due respect, rather than being obsessed with Silver Eagles, it is much better to be obsessed with learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jody[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
