Yes, beginners had to actually LEARN how to grade, LEARN the dealers and which onese were fair and which ones were swindlers, and LEARN about coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know, its just a lot easier to let someone else think and just enjoy the pretty view of coins through plastic.

I have said time and again, if they didn&#039;t attempt to grade coins, or at least use an impartial third parties grading system and measured their accuracy against that, I wouldn&#039;t be so against slabs.
