<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1981657, member: 31533&quot;]Grading can be subjective. Which is why people who buy coins in slabs have been known to break them free and submit for grading. If it grades higher, then they can get more for the coin, especially if they sell it to people who buy the slab (based on the grade of the coin) and not the coin (looking at the coin to determine if it is accurately graded). Conversely, it might be overgraded, and the longer it remains in it&#039;s slab the more opportunity the person having that slab will be able to sell it for more than it&#039;s actual value. It will behoove you to learn to grade the coins yourself and then you will be more likely to spot the coin you want instead of relying on a piece of paper to tell you what it is. That takes time and effort. But there are books that help tremendously.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS.... when it arrives, take good pics of it and post them, let some of the people here let you know if they think it was graded well and what it&#039;s actual value might be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
