<p>[QUOTE=&quot;midas1, post: 1783371, member: 21309&quot;]medoraman,&nbsp; I did not ask the thread to tell me what to buy.&nbsp; I asked for suggestions. The reason I posted the original message was because I haven&#039;t bought any really costly coins in a couple of years,.&nbsp; I have bought the occasional hobo nickel or art medal.&nbsp; I&#039;ve&nbsp; been collecting foreign currency and unusual stock certificates.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hear what you&#039;re writing re:&nbsp; graded coins and I&#039;m familiar with the pro/con arguments.&nbsp; Every time I get a new graded coin it goes under the magnifying glass, then microscope,&nbsp;&nbsp; An example of grading increasing the value of coins is the 2011 ASE five coin set.&nbsp; graded perfect sets command quite a premium, though not as much as they once did.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;In the spirit of openness I&#039;ll tell you that not only have I embraced graded coins I&#039;ve bought some coins that I knew had been cleaned.</p><p>&nbsp;I&#039;ll take a deeper step into the brimstone and tell you that I saw some beautifully toned proof sets that I may have to own.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If time permits I&#039;m going to take green18&#039;a suggestion and look into a Liberty Head double eagle. If not then I&#039;ll buy a 1oz AGB and 1/4oz AGB.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck with your double eagle purchases</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
