<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 593101, member: 3726"]I don't equate grading to selling. Learning to grade takes a lot of time and experience. I still see myself as a beginner. What this does not explain is how to get coins at greysheet bid prices, then it does not explain how to get them graded cheap enough to where you make money. And last but not least it does not tell you how to sell the coins. It should clearly state buy raw, get PCGS graded, sell for profit. Here is what I got from the short article - buy low and sell high so you don't lose 10k. DOH - why didn't I think of that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It also does not explain how to determine the worth of a coin - not all technical grade 64's will bring the same money. I also do not see where it says to specialize - which would really help some starters. Now - how do I get MS64 RB IHC's for greysheet bid - raw, graded, etc. - where this will work? </p><p><br /></p><p>Also working with a good dealer is must - better yet how to find a good dealer. I also think learning about coin conditions is a must. Last but not least if I find an above average AU large cent, pay ASK for AU coin, it grades AU, then put it on EBAY(or heritage)and it sells for VF money. Where did I go wrong? Was my grading wrong? If I buy an AG coin and sell it for XF - am I a good grader? This happens on ebay all the time. Last but not least I could be a crack out artist and make money on ebay - how does that improve my grading. Based off this article SGS has some excellent graders. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is just my opinion and I find the article lacking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
