<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBaker, post: 1330492, member: 32398&quot;]Would a complete collection of Eisenhowers consist of both proofs and&nbsp; unc coins? and are proof coins rated differently than unc coins? I&#039;ve&nbsp; noticed some coins with ratings of PR69 and others similar to that.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m guessing the only way to prevent myself from buying with&nbsp; counterfeits is to only buy from trustworthy coin shops and established&nbsp; eBay coin dealers? And I guess it would also be a good idea to post a&nbsp; link to a coin I&#039;m interested in buying, and have some of you guys look&nbsp; at it first to make sure it&#039;s legit. And thanks for the book&nbsp; recommendation, I&#039;ll definitely check it out!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As an Admin of another forum, I&#039;m ashamed for having never visited that&nbsp; part of the forum and finding all of those links. I already found one&nbsp; (link below) that that I was going to post another help topic about, now&nbsp; I don&#039;t have to!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.collectorscorner.org/pocket.html#Pennies" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectorscorner.org/pocket.html#Pennies" rel="nofollow">http://www.collectorscorner.org/pocket.html#Pennies</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My next help topic was going to be about helping me pick my wife&nbsp; out....dangit! I think the first coin I buy (and collection I begin)&nbsp; will be an Ike, but I&#039;m not opposed to buying one of those books and&nbsp; slowly completing it over time.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the tips! I actually have a bag of change I&#039;ve been meaning&nbsp; to sort through to see if I have anything good in it, and with GDJMSP&#039;s&nbsp; link to the resources I found a site that tells me what to look for, and&nbsp; now I can do that at and practice grading them at the same time. I&#039;ll&nbsp; let you guys know if I find anything decent!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do your local coin stores have auctions for coins? Or were you bidding&nbsp; at them on another site? I did find another site for bidding on coins&nbsp; (besides eBay), but they didn&#039;t have too many 1971-S Eisenhowers&nbsp; available. And I believe I&#039;m going to buy my Red Book tonight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
