[QUOTE="jandj, post: 90919, member: 83441"]When I am on EBAY, I have a backup explorer window with the PCGS website. This is for fast reference and I am sure thats old news. But my question is when to buy non-slabbed coins. When you see an OLD coin let's say 1866 shield nickel that in just good condition is estimated at $29.00. When you look at the photo it is clear that if the same coin is mailed i will save alot of money, do I buy? Or should I stay with only slabbed coins? What is this forums stance on EBAY? Also some of the proof coins and sets I have purchased on EBAY have the Light spots, when I look under the microscope it has a dulling effect on the coins, and on the lincoln there are tiny green spots. What sort of effect will this have on the value? When would you spend over $100 for a coin or proof set as a small collector? Hope I havent asked too many questions.[/QUOTE]
