One - I know of way too many dealers who after 35 - 40 years of business still can&#039;t grade worth a hoot. And I know of a couple fo very young gentlemen, under 20, who have become the most successful graders we have in the hobby. And neither of them have ever lost or gained significant amounts of money from buying and or selling coins. They just have the talent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Grading requires knowledge &amp; experience - that&#039;s all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
