<p>[QUOTE=&quot;heineken, post: 1491452, member: 38909&quot;]For my set, I was not worried about gradable coins, which helps the wallet a lot <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The Silver Eagle, the peace dollar, and the morgan are all nice never cleaned and&nbsp; gradable.&nbsp; But the rest are problem coins that have either been cleaned, or were not gradable because of rim damage, etc.&nbsp; The Carlos III coin I got for a great deal (or at least I think so).&nbsp; It was from a reputable dealer on ebay, but he had a typo in the title of the add, so I think it was missed by a lot of people, and I bid at the last second and got it for under 80 shipped.&nbsp; I did as much research and testing as I could on my end and no red flags.&nbsp; For the collection&nbsp; I was not worried about if the coins were gradable, I just looked for authentic coins with good eye appeal.&nbsp; The bust dollar was certified genuine but non gradable by PCGS, but it has great eye appeal.&nbsp; The first thing I did was break it out of the slab.&nbsp; My intention with the collection was to have coins I was not scared to hold in my hand.&nbsp; I was young and dumb and lightly dipped the bust dollar, and then immediately regretted it.&nbsp; After that I handled it a bunch and let it set on&nbsp; my dresser and it has retoned nicely, but lesson learned.</p><p><br /></p><p>I really want a flowing hair, but man are they expensive!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>When i get some time I am going to try to get some better pics with a camera.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
