<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 150679, member: 112&quot;]To my thinking the reason is rather simple actually - money. All of these grading companies have seen with their own eyes a business model that works - place a coin in a plastic holder, call it whatever grade you like&nbsp; and somebody will buy it. And if you charge less than the big boys, then those who think they are being wise by saving a buck will submit the coins and even more money will roll into your coffers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why bother to spend the money for knowledgeable staff and advertising - a professional grader is paid anywhere from $100,000 to over $250,000 per year. And advertising aint exactly cheap either. Then you need a place of business, office equipment, office staff, sonic sealing machines etc. Add all that up and it comes to quite a sizable hunk of cash. </p><p><br /></p><p>These folks find it a lot easier and cheaper to set up a table in the garage or basement, buy generic coin holders, slap a label on them and presto - they are a grading company.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
