[QUOTE="TylerH, post: 3156619, member: 97181"]Hi All Pardon another dumb question :) My grandma used to collect "drummer boy" quarters (Bicentennial) and last night I thought it would be nice to buy a really nice graded one for a fond memory item - I found a ton on ebay - MS64 and up - for like, 10-15$ Why would someone grade a 10$ coin and sell it for 10$? Its like giving away the grading fee. What am I missing here? Example: [url]https://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-S-25C-Silver-Bicentennial-Washington-Quarter-PCGS-MS66/263042260504?hash=item3d3e8a5e18%3Ag%3AHBwAAOSw1BlZQ3aC%3Asc%3AUSPSFirstClass%2194941%21US%21-1&_sacat=0&_nkw=1976+quarter+MS&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2060353.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.X1976+quarter+MS.TRS0[/url] Thank you![/QUOTE]
