<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3731044, member: 84179&quot;]The reason for buying a slabbed 16-D in lower grades is for authentication.&nbsp; All of the major TPGs should be able to differentiate between the fakes and real coins.&nbsp; They should also note any major problems, such as harsh cleaning or damage.&nbsp; Plus, grading Mercs in G-F isn&#039;t too difficult.&nbsp; You can pull up information on the grading sites and with a little study, be comfortable that you can tell the differences. </p><p><br /></p><p>So as others have said, pick the coin that you like the best.&nbsp; I would recommend avoiding coins with problems, even if they are cheaper because they will have the same problems when it comes time to sell.&nbsp; And remember, if you don&#039;t agree with the grade, don&#039;t buy it.&nbsp; A quality coin will always be a quality coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
