<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3409430, member: 78244&quot;]If much more than 10% of the coin market actually cared about the coin instead of the fancy slab it is in, then we would not be having this discussion. However, the posters here have to stoop to the reality that most of the coin market buys holders and shuns perfectly good coins simply becuse of the holder they are in. Thus it is much harder to get what the coin is actually worth if it is not slabbedby PCGS/NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>A coin’s value is <i>COMPLETELY</i> dictated by what the graders at NGC/PCGS grade it (or might grade it), regardless of whether that grade is correct or not. Because they are inconsistent, raw/non-PCGS/NGC sell for far less than their true value because it <i>MIGHT</i> grade lower or “details.” This is particularly bothersome when the value doubles between, say, VF-35 and XF-40. This mentality is not condusive to enjoying a collection of raw US coins, much less buying/selling them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
