[QUOTE="CohibaCris, post: 10960, member: 904"]You know, a favorite hobby of mine in this world of coins is to curl up on my couch some nights with a tall coffee, 4 or 5 coin rags, and a calculator. I love to try and figure just how much things can possibly go for, and the difference the rest of us will actually pay. My first (and only TV purchase) was the ASE set. I was proud - and in my eyes it was cheap. I learned different quite soon after it arrived. I laughed, because I had been rogered, but good! I fell for it!! Skepticism in this hobby is the calling card of experienced collectors. Looks too good to be true, then it probably is. That being said, if you want to buy slabbed coins, buy the coin and pay just for the coin. I wouldn't send stuff off to be graded if I wasn't really sure it was worth it, and if I saw something that I questioned at my dealer, I would ask them to get it certified. Other than that, give 'em to me RAW! :D[/QUOTE]
