allenciox New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 3:01 pm is it the streaks that tell you that? Report this Post to the Staff
Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 3:13 pm The obverse has been very harshly cleaned. I'm not sure if the coin has much of a premium at this point. Probably would sell like a VF. Report this Post to the Staff
allenciox New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 3:15 pm Wow, I have a lot to learn, I am feeling pretty intimidated. I spent $54 on this coin, figuring it was at least an AU. But it's only a VF, two grades below that. Report this Post to the Staff

allenciox New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 3:20 pm Maybe I should give up on collecting. I obviously don't know what I am doing. Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 3:26 pm Hang in there! We all make mistakes...trust me.

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 06/29/2007 4:42 pm No, don't give up; if it were easy, no one would do it. Everyone makes mistakes, especially in the beginning. Even after years, you won't catch every detail. Buying on ebay is enticing, but I think it's a much better place to look and learn the marketplace. Books are the place to start. Now that you're here, settle back and stay a while; if you are planning on making any other purchases, we'd certainly be happy to help you. If you're looking at anything on ebay you're not sure about, just post a link, or send a private e-mail. I promise I won't bid. Learning coins and collecting takes a little time, but the curve really isn't too steep. Report this Post to the Staff
