<p>[QUOTE="HappyHighway, post: 4298442, member: 78142"]Hi everyone. I have been piecing together a CAPS Album (1800's Type Set) that has been quite fun (If sometimes not always affordable, haha). Anyway, I really enjoy purchasing my coins at shows or dealerships. Seeing the coin in person of course and having some really great conversations with folks who know A LOT more than I do. Something I usually resist is purchasing raw coins from online websites. Often I just have a hard time trusting the lighting and photograph. There is a particular seller on Ebay who has mastered the art of lighting on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I went in on a purchase for a Type-2 Three-Cent Silver. I graded it somewhere between a 35 and a 40, though probably pushing closer to a 35. If my grade is correct, I think I paid "About Right" but again, I get nervous with raw, online coins. I think the coin will look nice either way and I'm probably not going to sell these coins for decades so I'm not really at risk of losing huge sums of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>But would love feedback from anybody interested in providing it.
