<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ciscokid, post: 38274, member: 1932&quot;]I bought 3 $20 gold saints in raw state--1 whizzed severely, and 2 cleaned--At least they were authentice&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> At the time I had no idea what whizzed or cleaning was, so as stated above I taught myself--I&#039;m still learning-Out of the 3, I could not with clear conscious sell any of them, altho years later I could of dumped them on ebay on some unsuspecting turkey and made a considerable amount of money, but I did not. Instead I bought 3 bezels, (spent more money) inserted all 3 into them. Sold and stated condition, the 1908NM on ebay as jewelry, and the 1924 at the FUN show this year as to a dealer selling &quot;jewelry coins&quot;--Now I did still manage to cover my initial costs including the bezels, but obviously I did not make or have the desired results I wanted when I initially purchased these on ebay BTW--The 3rd saint I kept, the 1915S (gorgeous coin) not as severely cleaned as the other 2, defintely a high end ms65 speciment (but cleaned) I put into diamond cut bezel over sized the loop and bought me a $2k chain for it--It is the highlight around my neck let me tell ya-- <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The other item I still loath my purchase is a MS69 1995 SAE in a PCGS case for $125--I bought this mistake couple of years ago when these PCGS slabbed coins were being sold for a premium before the botton fell out--Still grit my teeth on that stupidity--Sorta reinforeced this, buy the coin not the slab saying we hear all the time--Still tho, it is in a PCGS case---whooptie-doo-- <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
