<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 815779, member: 16994&quot;]As someone who sends in a lot of coins I call it a &quot;necessary evil&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>There have been a lot of good points made in this thread. It is not cheap to have coins graded...at all. It can however easily enhance the coins value and saleability. We all know how &quot;hair splitting&quot; the grades of mint state can be, and we also know how much coins values can move by just changing a point or 2. </p><p><br /></p><p>Buying a raw coin is like buying a house without a professional inspection. Having your coins graded is having a professional inspection. There are soooo many coins out there that have either been worked on, cleaned, or altered... not to mention the counterfeits. Grading ensures both the grade and originality of your pieces. Like Doug said &quot;buy them graded&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
