Message:: [QUOTE="RickieB, post: 69318, member: 2486"]LOL @ Andy as well..keep her well polished Andy...As far as the coins go, the major part of my collection as some of you all ready know is the entire series of AGE in all denominations. I buy both raw and slabbed coins. As far as the raw ones go, I hand pick each purchase and inspect them with a 5 or 10x loop for quality. Having over 40 PCGS only slabbed AGE coins I have honed my grading skills for this coin type very well and  can most of the  time select nice coins...then again, it is  not so difficult to select high grade coins that are relatively new. I have always bought the highest grade that I can afford and if I am looking at a key date, I make sure it is validated by PCGS 99% of the time. I do have a few NGC slabs.. but thats it. In my opinion and experience these are the top two certification agencies that are revered in the industry because it's  hobby status has gone investment grade as well.So buyers bewareBUY THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD...and if you want top quality..save, save save...and then go get em!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> As far as an upgrade..yes a few times in the past with CC Morgans. Wish I had em all back now! RickieB[/QUOTE]
