<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 687300, member: 4336&quot;]Thanks, I&#039;ve always been really honest. Even if it hurts me..</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope I find a job in a coin shop too...most of the ones I&#039;ve been to are not very friendly. My transportation is a bit limited right now, I&#039;m working to get a car, then I can go anywhere. It&#039;s tempting to sell my NGC MS64 saint (Which I paid around $700 for a couple years ago) for $1500+ and buy a car..but I just love it too much and it&#039;s my only 20 dollar piece. But it is tempting..I do need a car.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think my counterfeit skills are up to par (besides alterations), but my grading is very poor. In the example there I thought the coin was XF (it&#039;s a small coin) but he said it was fine, most likely he was right. I&#039;m also thinking he priced it wrong, I checked numismedia value for a fine classic head and it&#039;s $270...the other reason I think it&#039;s priced wrong is because it said &quot;Lib&quot; or &quot;liberty&quot; on it which refers to the coronet liberty (1840 and beyond)...this would seem like an ideal price for a liberty, definitely not a classic head. I even pointed it out to him that it&#039;s a classic head, he acknowledged me but to my knowledge didn&#039;t correct it..I guess he knew.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note a little over a year ago I went to Action Coin trader, another coin shop nearby. I took my classic head $2.50 I bought and just asked what he thought about it (which wasn&#039;t really necessary, but I did it anyways), and just for kicks I asked him what it was worth. He looked in a book and said it was worth $15,000. Dumbfounded, I checked where he was looking and he was looking at the series of coin right before the classic head, the capped head, which is pre 1834 gold and because of its higher gold content was hoarded, and the vast majority melted, this is the early gold that is very rare.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way alot of the inventory they have on their website isn&#039;t in the shop...they had a nice assortment of silver, gold bullion and numismatic gold, lots of books, and watches. It was a nice shop...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
