I don't know....
For the Noob, probably best to buy graded coins from reputable dealers.
Having said that....I was at the EAS show a couple of months ago. The 16Ds I saw in AG were running in the $875 to $950 range. At the same time there were a number of sales on ebay that ended below $400. Sometimes well below. Many from long time and reputable dealers. Shucks..lol...if you bought two and one turned out to be fake and the other real you still saved a minumum of $75. It really does come down to a numbers game sometimes.
Again, though for a Noob, stick to a slab from a reputable dealer. Being aware that even a dealer can be fooled by some of the fake Chinese Slabs.
I guess the only way to be absolutely sure is to buy a slab from Heritage or some similar venue. But be prepared to PAY. Though one of the things you might buy is peace of mind.
