<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pilkenton, post: 1041188, member: 23961&quot;]I think if Grandma went into a shop to buy a coin for her grandson, the dealer would do his best to educate her and steer her away from them.&nbsp; In fact, I don&#039;t ever remember seeing any of these lower tier slabs in any shop I&#039;ve been to.&nbsp; All the dealers I&#039;ve talked to frown on them, and they&#039;ll let you know.&nbsp; The only place I&#039;ve ever seen them is on ebay, and the low bids most get don&#039;t reflect the inexperience of novice collectors.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think the part-time state quarter collectors would even know about slabbed coins, and if they found out, they would have to do some studying to learn the coin grades, and it wouldn&#039;t take much reading to figure out about the reputation of these guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, who are these guys?&nbsp; Do they consider themselves lower tier graders?&nbsp; Do they overgrade knowing these coins will enter the market overgraded and overpriced, or do they actually think the are grading accurately?</p><p>Also, do the submitters use these graders to deliberately get more for their coins or do they actually believe the accuracy of these grader?&nbsp; I think you would have a better chance trying to sell a PCGS graded MS69 ASE than you would an MS70 third tier graded ASE.&nbsp; Do they charge less than the top tier graders?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
