<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Long Beard, post: 26396196, member: 108674&quot;]Allow me to begin by saying that I&#039;m assembling the Liberty nickel series in grades of AU, maybe lower mint state. (My personal criteria tend to be stricter than the graders based on comparison) Down to the final four (1885, 1886, 1894 and 1912s) I&#039;m looking at graded specimes only, and for the obvious reasons, with the intent of freeing them from a plastic tomb. The question is, would you buy one of the top two graders to do so? Part of me feels that it would be wrong as the chances increase of it coming back with a like grade should I ever chose to have it regraded. Which is something I&#039;ve heard but not done. The only one I have cracked out thus far is an 1890 ICG MS63 which in my honest opinion would be an AU55/58. Which is more or less what I expected from a minor grading firm. Am I better off staying with the less used graders for this purpose?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
