<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1404915, member: 13650&quot;]This is easier said than done.&nbsp; A buffalo nickel is relatively easy to grade.&nbsp;&nbsp; But once you get into say Peace dollars or $2.5 or $5 Indians, I&#039;d like to see everybody on this forum&#039;s record grading them.&nbsp; &nbsp; You&#039;ve seen the polls.&nbsp; People&#039;s guesses are all over the place.&nbsp; Most of the forum would fail in grading those.&nbsp;&nbsp; So does that mean people should over pay or dealers should get ripped off because somebody&#039;s grading skills aren&#039;t good enough for the series?&nbsp; Or maybe they just shouldn&#039;t collect the series?&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Many issues are very difficult to grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; As for the CAC argument, here we go again.....&nbsp;&nbsp; If a new car dealership has only been open for a year, should we assume that everybody working there only has one year of experience in car sales?&nbsp; &nbsp; Even if JA wasn&#039;t running the show, the thinking here is unrealistic.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t feel that a 2nd opinion on the slab is all that bad.&nbsp; They don&#039;t charge nearly as much as the TPGs for the service.&nbsp; It&#039;s all that is needed as a check if somebody wants it.&nbsp; A third opinion would be getting carried away and unnecessary.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sometimes people get all worked up over nothing.&nbsp; There&#039;s nothing wrong with buying a slabbed coin with a CAC sticker if you like the coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; I only have one in my collection so I&#039;m not defending them because I have anything invested in them.&nbsp;&nbsp; They don&#039;t bother me at all though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
