<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7947909, member: 100459&quot;]I bought a 2009 (MMIX) Ultra High Relief One Ounce Double Eagle Gold Coin from a dealer.&nbsp; I was a &quot;newbie&quot; and didn&#039;t know much about grading coins.&nbsp; A local coin dealer had the coin and the original owner had sent it in for grading.&nbsp; When it came back, it had been graded MS 68.&nbsp; The original owner was ticked off and sold it to the local dealer for about what it cost him.&nbsp; I bought it from the LCD for about $1,300.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if it was worth it, but I liked it and have kept it.&nbsp; I have a 1904 $20 Liberty Head One Ounce Double Eagle that I got from the LCD in 2010.&nbsp; I paid $1,400.&nbsp; The LCD was going to a show and told me he could get it graded while he was there.&nbsp; On the invoice, he put MS 61, but when it came back, it was &quot;UNC DETAILS - Obverse Scratched.&quot;&nbsp; I kept the coin because I like it.</p><p>Have coins graded is a &quot;Crap Shoot&quot; unless you are a well trained grader.&nbsp; I would have your coins graded if I felt good about them being PF 70.&nbsp; I won&#039;t be sending my Reverse Proof Set, because I&#039;m not good at grading and I don&#039;t know anyone locally that is.</p><p>Tough Decision.&nbsp; Best of Luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
