<p>[QUOTE=&quot;namvet4, post: 845200, member: 23066&quot;]I read this whole thread and see a lot of skepticism and common sense regarding the &quot;new&quot; grading labeling definitions.</p><p>I only buy &quot;slabbed&quot; coins when I am not comfortable with my own skill in determining the authenticity and quality of the coin; for example, early US commemoratives.</p><p>I am now convinced that as the new designations hit the market, I, the consumer, am going to pay a higher price for something that has no real base value in relation to the collectability and investment value of the coin. I wonder if these confusing, multiple grading designations and increased costs, passed along to the end consumer, are going to drive people away from the hobby????</p><p>just my p.o.v.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
