<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8082441, member: 100459"]About 12 years ago, I inherited half of my father's coin collection. Most of them were in boxes, sorted by type. There were some nice coins, but nothing graded and nothing in 2X2s. However, when I started going through them, I got the collecting "bug". Anyway, I went to a coin shop and saw several gold coins. I bought a Raw 1904 Liberty Double Eagle ($1200) and an 1895 Liberty Eagle ($600). About a month later, I bought the 2009 W Ultra High Relief Gold coin that had been graded. I got it for about $1,200. I thought it was a nice buy. I mentioned it a few years ago and I was asked what it graded at. I looked at it and found it had been graded by PCGS MS68. I thought it was a good graded until I looked for another MS68 and finally found that there were a few listed by PCGS. I have the shipping box and the wood box it came from the Mint in. When I mentioned it, I was told I would not get much more for what I paid for should I sell it. I really felt taken and dumb, but I still have the coin and will probably never sell it because I like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
