<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4352460, member: 19463&quot;]There are a couple points here:&nbsp; It is relatively safe and easy to buy genuine coins that are as old as these but they won&#039;t be gold and won&#039;t be sold by some slyster on the corner whose sales pitch begins, &quot;Psst, Buddy.&quot;&nbsp; While you can buy slabs and I would suggest that if you are buying coins of the $10k bracket, there are thousands of good coins being sold by trustworthy dealers that are not in plastic.&nbsp; If you want to spend under $1000 per coin, you will go to different dealers than if you plan on $10k+.&nbsp; It is silly to buy $10 coins in plastic boxes with a company name that is not respected in the trade.&nbsp; If you look a little, you will find those same three coins (but genuine) in NGC (the only slabs to have IMHO) for only $50k or so or you might find them uncertified but sold by a knowledgeable and trustworthy dealer for less.&nbsp; Buying those three coins as your first ancients is about as sensible and buying a Lamborghini for your 15 year old with a learner&#039;s permit. </p><p><br /></p><p>Under that top hat is a Bing head with a good idea.&nbsp; When you feel comfortable buying ordinary coins, you might risk buying some things of a slightly higher value but you should employ a trusted advisor you can represent you when seeking the Super-coins.&nbsp; Decide which method is best based on how much you are willing to lose while learning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
