For a person with good grading skills, experience with price history of said coin, eye for defects or problems, usually can. Since graded coins that are varieties or error, usually have to pay additional fees for verification the risk is increased. The number of people who displayed new acquisitions in the last week and professed that they were going to get it graded, but will lose in my opinion was about 95%. It takes TIME and experience to develop such skills even if just in a small area of expertise, and it can&#039;t be by watching Youtubies.</p><p>Many people here think they know after a month or so on the forum, but it has taken me over 50 years to be able to go to a large coin show and feel confident when buying coins, but I also know my weaknesses, such as Barbers ( which I do notcare for) and ancients, so Know yourself!&nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
