<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 655817, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s because of something I have said more times than I can count. A slabbed coin is not worth 1 cent more than if the exact same coin were raw - to a knowledgable collector. This is because the Greysheet only list values, yes wholesale values, of coins that you can see, in hand, with your own eyes, and determine what it is worth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is because the Bluesheet assumes values of a coin that you cannot see in hand to make your own determination on value or grade. This is because knowledgeable collectors and knowledgeable dealers ( I say this because not all dealers are knowledgeable), KNOW that the TPG&#039;s screw up and over-grade coins. They also know that the TPG&#039;s sometimes miss things, like putty, AT, tooling, or other alterations. Thus if you agree to buy it, you are taking a bigger chance by buying it sight unseen. So the sellers agree to take less for the coin because of the risk you are taking by buying the coin sight unseen.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why, almost without exception, those who are experienced will always tell you to never buy a coin sight unseen. And remember - looking at a picture, is still sight unseen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
