<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 838280, member: 21705&quot;]Reputation of the Grader/Seller, good or bad or lack thereof, has a definite affect on the value apart from the coin itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example: If I said I have a new variety of Large Cent in fine condition, and you don&#039;t know me, would it be as valuable to you&nbsp; (even with good pictures) as the same coin attributed by Bob Grellman as a new variety, Slabbed by PCGS as F-12 with a CAC sticker?</p><p><br /></p><p>OK. The one I sent to Bob Grellman is only an AG3, but you get my point? Even I don&#039;t find it as valuable without attribution and grading by a respected expert. It becomes even more valuable when that expert&#039;s opinion is confirmed by other experts and a consensus is reached. And all this is with the same coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do long for the old days when two people got together and made their own market, independent of literature and publications.
