<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 8034540, member: 96746&quot;]You can extend the lack of interest in UK grading co&#039;s to include the US ones as well. Sure there are some adherents to the slabbing game in the UK, but it isn&#039;t the sacred cow that it is in the US. Collectors should be buying the coin and not the label. Just take it for what it is - an alternative opinion to your own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t pay a penny extra for the label, but having bought well over a hundred slabbed coins in the past, I can safely say that roughly 20% came at a discount due to the fact that the US TPGs are quite adept on occasion at misidentifying British coins. Happy days, and more than the odd thousand pounds saved.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use my own grading system - acceptable or not, with the physical grade sliding to accommodate the coins available to collectors or anything specific to the coin/type in question. This is very useful when there are no coins available that would get a numbered grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
