<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 165635, member: 6370"]I dont deal with it, I just buys what I likes and if I have to describe the condition I just use the old F VF UNC etc...with high res photos you dont need terminology as a person can see for themselves anyway. It will be a cold day in hell when I send a coin and pay for it to be graded...the most I will do is send a coin to be authenticated (ancients) and because I know places where there are highly knowledgable people, I have never had to do that either...to me coin grading services are just another way to hike the price and grab a few more bucks out of a collector...grading and most authenticating can be done by a few friendly and knowledgable long time collectors for free....If the coin is authentic and desirable, people will buy it whether it has a grading service slab or not....for me this is just a hobby...I dont mind paying a fair price for coins, but that about as far as it goes. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
