<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1975560, member: 28971&quot;]Man, you REALLY need to just slow down and STOP buying, man!&nbsp; And where you have the limited knowledge to simply KNOW that an &#039;09 SVDB is a KEY DATE, and that&#039;s where it stops, that&#039;s a dangerous combination....you can&#039;t possibly know even a single diagnostic!&nbsp; This goes for EVERY key/semi-key date...hell, ANY date coin, just PLEASE, for YOUR sake, STOP...take some time to learn to make educated purchases (you&#039;ll be much better off in the long run....), and ALWAYS ask BEFORE you purchase.&nbsp; And if you really want our help, it WON&#039;T help to BS us....you said in post #3:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now, you say this:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to guess you&#039;ll own the coin, as you are with the rest of them....if you are going to return this, why not the 1800 S1$???&nbsp; Why waste ANY of your money if you CAN get it back????</p><p><br /></p><p>Gotta be brutally honest here if you truly want to learn.&nbsp; Is this the same woman you got the 1800 dollar from?&nbsp; How much did you honestly spend on these?&nbsp; WERE they from &#039;a widow&#039;?&nbsp; Some of these individual coins seem, to me, like you got these from Craig&#039;s List.&nbsp; I know it&#039;s none of our business what you paid, but I&#039;m betting you paid a lot more than you claim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dallas, please put your cards on the table, for GOD&#039;S sake stop buying for now, and unload that thing (though I think it&#039;s a Google image....), as you&#039;ve made it clear you like to bend your elbow...alcohol &amp; loaded guns do not make great bed partners. </p><p><br /></p><p>And, ask BEFORE.&nbsp; Can you give us an honest list of what you actually bought from this &#039;widow&#039;?&nbsp; And, I made my thoughts on being a Craig&#039;s List purchase, but I won&#039;t go there, but one SAGE piece of advice....a NEWBIE with little to no (stressing NO here) knowledge, should NEVER EVER buy from CL.&nbsp; Even slabs are faked, and I&#039;m sure you couldn&#039;t &#039;spot the fake slab&#039;.&nbsp; Personally, CL is a &#039;no shopping zone&#039;, at least for coins, for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>You have taken the first step, that&#039;s asking for help, so you can learn.&nbsp; Now take the second, and ask BEFORE you buy, but you really shouldn&#039;t be buying right now, raw or graded.&nbsp; DEFINITELY stop buying raw, IMMEDIATELY, PLEASE!!!&nbsp; And, at the very least, as far as buying slabbed coins, be honest, Dallas...if I put a fake PCGS slab next to an authentic one, could you tell the difference?&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing not, and there are very good fakes of PCGS slabs....and then you have NGC.....&nbsp; If you truly want to learn, put your cards on the table.&nbsp; Our (at least my) bark is worse than our (again, at least my) bite.&nbsp; It might not seem it, but I&#039;d love to be one of those that help you, but you have to be OPEN to it, and not go off on a spending frenzy and winding up with coins such as those you have shown us, even though you are being advised to stop.&nbsp; Help us help you.&nbsp; And for God&#039;s sake, you should probably not go online at all when you have a &#039;glow on&#039;, let alone a full blown 3 sheets to the wind.&nbsp; C&#039;mon, admit it...the alcohol suggested you offer me your SSN to prove you are a newbie!!!&nbsp; LOL!&nbsp; Again, help us help you.&nbsp; &nbsp; And, I&#039;m going to ask just this once flat out...Were these &#039;widow&#039; coins, or any of the rest of them, bought from a Craig&#039;s List listing (God, I hope you say &#039;no&#039;, but don&#039;t appease me/us....)???&nbsp; Truth??? </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for rambling, but I&#039;ve &#039;seen this movie&#039; too many times.&nbsp; Not opposed to helping someone who truly wants to learn, but I&#039;ve seen one too many &#039;hopeful&#039; newbies get turned off because they made one too many dumb purchases, who ask for help, say yes (nodding like one of those car rear-deck dog bobbleheads) and do it anyway.&nbsp; Dallas, the help IS here, but YOU have to WANT it, and follow it once you DO get it....show us you do, man!!!&nbsp; There, I&#039;m done.....now I&#039;ll climb into a hole because most of you will probably think I&#039;M the one out of my mind (no offense, Dallas!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
