<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coins4me, post: 165763, member: 3898&quot;]Exactly my point Basx2, Todays coin grading has become a scam. When you state the price spread between MS64 &amp; MS65 is ridiculus, you might take a look at the Roosevelt Dimes where it shows a PF68 at $ 125.00 and a PF68C at $ 3,000.00. I guess the &quot;C&quot; stands for Cameo ??? But come on now, Do you think a proof Cameo coin verses a regular proof is worth $ 2,875.00.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with Drusus when he says coin grading is just another way for the dealers to make an extra buck. </p><p>If you don&#039;t believe this, watch one of those &quot;Coin Collector&quot; programs on TV and listen to the spiel about &quot;First Strike&quot; coins. What a crock. Do these guys have a special in with the Government that allows them to get the first coins off the die&#039;s ? How does someone know that one coin was hit before another ? Furthermore, who cares if it is the first, middle or last as long as the quality holds up. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
