<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 588100, member: 3726&quot;](1) Very few raw coins - mostly graded.&nbsp; For the types - IHC&#039;s, large cents, bust half dollars.</p><p>(2) Define a lot???? - a 20th century type set(without gold) might not be to high and you could get graded coins. Then you could decide what you liked best and go for a set of those. Then again you might decide to try something older.&nbsp; Also what grade do you like - MS? AU? F? VF? G? I usually recommend type sets for those that want to collect and it provides a variety.</p><p>(3)You already said - if it is too good to be true... - well there are no unsearched lots.</p><p>(4) Really depends on the coin and how much you like it.&nbsp; I have seen some (in my opinion) ugly toned coins go for twice the going rate.</p><p>(5) On ebay - the ones with a good return policy, good pictures and good feedback.&nbsp; The only one I would openly recommend is AJ.&nbsp; Because my experience might not be the same as yours.&nbsp; You have to research sellers - but sticking to graded coins is safer.</p><p>(6) To find the best deals you have to look, look and look some more. Sometimes buying from a dealer will get you a good deal. To me this is a hobby that should be for fun - not to get MS70 coins and VF prices.&nbsp; That does happen, but I think a lot less than people think. A nice coin on ebay will attract the serious collectors and the competition will be at a higher level.&nbsp; I am not saying there are not deals to be had - but it takes work to find them.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just my opinions. Enjoy and have fun. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
