<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 644786, member: 16994"]In the coin business when we see a raw coin that looks nice on a first look... I always think to myself, "why isn't this coin already in a slab?" I mean economy service for a dealer is $11 a coin or so... I know low end stuff this doesn't really apply to but mid range stuff and up... if it's not already graded there is probably a reason and looking a little harder at the coin is always advised... %90 plus of the time it was either cracked out of a lower grade holder or it's a former BB'ed coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
