Robberbaron Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 03/12/2008 9:07 pm I only buy coins that are professionally graded. I have learned the hard way over the years. I have gotten counterfeits ( bought a 1875 Trade dollar sent it to pcgs and it was silver but it was a mexican peso filed down and re-stamped. I called the seller who gave me my money back and paid me for my grading cost. Nice guy but he also had no idea what he we selling I was an idioy:( and lucky to get my money back), mis graded stuff etc. But now that I learned to grade and I have taken some classes offered by the ANA and have poured over information I know what to look for. I always tended to under grade common coins and over grade rarer coins...imagine that:) Information is the key, learn as much has possible on your area your focusing on. The ANA also offers a lending library on almost anything you would want. happy hunting Report this Post to the Staff
Bobbi Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 03/13/2008 12:13 pm I have the same fear that you do, altho thankfully not because I have been taken. At least as far as I know, I have not. Being such a neophyte opens me up to all kinds of things, so I absolutely need to be careful with whom I do business. Very cautious so far, but having fun along the learning pathway.
