<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3341962, member: 84595"]I voted NO. I have been a coin collector for 64 years. When I start to sell my coins through auction or at shows, I will determine the grade (been collecting rarities before grading services existed so many are raw) based on 64 years of experience and at last 6 grading guide books and the PCGS grading site, the current auction prices realized and current retail prices. At auction, I WILL PUT A RESERVE. If the auction house will not accept a reserve, I will go to another Auction House who will fulfill my wishes. As long as I get my price, I don't care what a dealer gets for the coin and hope they make a profit. If you educate yourself on selling your coins, you will enjoy the hobby, learn History, learn subjective and suggestive grading, learn eye appeal, learn pricing, learn varieties, make lots of coin collecting friends and won't make attorneys rich. I am now starting to protect my rarities in SEGS holders which my research indicates are the strongest in the industry. I want the holder, not necessarily the grading even when they get it right. I say drop the civil action and accept your price realized. We come on this earth with nothing and we will leave it with nothing. Learn by your mistakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
