<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1427512, member: 15309&quot;]Now Doug, If you had posted this as your first post instead of (below)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>you probably would not have gotten an argument from me.&nbsp; I buy most of my coins from Heritage and it is a much better place to buy certified coins.&nbsp; You get quality photographs, quality descriptions, pricing and auction history information in each listing, and you don&#039;t have to worry at all about reputation or being ripped off.&nbsp; Compared to Heritage, you are absolutely right, E-Bay is &quot;like walking through a mine field with a blindfold on&quot;.&nbsp; I would also agree that for most part, Heritage prices rival that of the lower priced stuff on E-Bay.&nbsp; You certainly don&#039;t see the moon money BIN&#039;s like you do on E-Bay and the auction fever that seems rampant on E-Bay seems secluded to hard to find or toned pieces in signature sales on Heritage.&nbsp; A specific 1945-P Jefferson Nickel comes to mind.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fnewnames%2f300%2f8%2f0%2f6%2f9%2f8069142.jpg%5d%2ccontinueonerror%5btrue%5d&amp;scale=size%5b450x2000%5d%2coptions%5blimit%5d&amp;source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fwebuse%2fno_image_available.gif%5d%2cif%5b%28%27global.source.error%27%29%5d&amp;sink=preservemd%5btrue%5d" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://images.ha.com/lf?source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fnewnames%2f300%2f8%2f0%2f6%2f9%2f8069141.jpg%5d%2ccontinueonerror%5btrue%5d&amp;scale=size%5b450x2000%5d%2coptions%5blimit%5d&amp;source=url%5bfile%3aimages%2finetpub%2fwebuse%2fno_image_available.gif%5d%2cif%5b%28%27global.source.error%27%29%5d&amp;sink=preservemd%5btrue%5d" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1169&amp;lotNo=3700&amp;lotIdNo=111031" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1169&amp;lotNo=3700&amp;lotIdNo=111031" rel="nofollow">1945-P Jefferson Nickel PCGS MS67 $1,380 4/2012</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now you may think that I argue with you just for the sake of arguing.&nbsp; Nothing can be further from the truth.&nbsp; You have a wealth of knowledge about coins.&nbsp; In fact, I credit you for giving me the most important advice I have ever received about collecting coins.&nbsp; If you recall, shortly after I joined Cointalk, you cautioned me strongly about simply buying coins bases solely on color while sacrificing the other elements of grading in the process.&nbsp; I have followed that advice and it has served me well over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I argue with you is because you have a habit of just shooting from the hip rather than sharing your knowledge.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t recognize the difference between your first post in this thread and your last, then I really don&#039;t know what to say.&nbsp; I know it is tough after 30,000 posts to keep typing the same advice month after month, year after year, but if you are going to give advice, your readers deserve the educated version, not the condensed version.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
