jbakic Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 12/05/2007 10:45 am Being a hobby newbie, I was wondering what the general consensus was about the "Starter Sets" you see advertised in CoinValues, Coin magazine, etc. 5 Premium BU Walking Liberty halves for $99 (1941-45) 8 Peace dollars for $169 BU Are these for real? Has anybody actually bout one of these from someone? Was it worth it? Any of these guys to watch out for? I suspect that most of these are cleaned coins or overgraded, but I wanted to check here. Thanks a lot, you guys (and gals) are the best! Report this Post to the Staff

You could probably find some nice examples of those particular coins a lot cheaper on ebay or perhaps even your local shop. Report this Post to the Staff

jbakic Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 12/05/2007 11:46 am I guess I should have googled first. A search for Skyline Coins, one of the advertisers came up with a thread on Cointalk.org (I would post a link but I'm not sure I can do that yet)that said they routinely sell dipped coins as BU. Just goes to show you, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Report this Post to the Staff
