<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1974117, member: 26302"]Dallas, as others have said, you really need to know what you are doing with the "classic" keys especially. These would be 16d dime, 09sVDB, 14d, and 22 plain cent, 32d quarter, "3 leg" buffalo, etc. Those five coins have been in extreme demand and valuable for decades and decades, and as such have been forged for longer than I have been in the hobby, (which is quite a while now). It has been said that there were 264,000 16d dimes minted, yet over a million are in coin collections, so you do the math. </p><p><br /></p><p>Short of having the knowledge base of some here on the specific coin, (and I don't), I would never dream of buying any of those coins listed above uncertified, and I personally hate slabs. I do not mind slabs for authentication, and would buy it in this case just for that reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
