[QUOTE="kanga, post: 695552, member: 9270"]Most of your "sold for small loss" can probably be attributed to "buying at retail; selling at wholesale", particularly if the person who bought it is a dealer. I learned my "crack out" lesson when I changed my mind and decided to have the coins re-slabbed. I probably came close to a push money-wise between coins that re-graded lower vs. coins that re-graded higher. But my REAL loss was the coins that came back body bagged for which replacements had to be purchased (plus the cost of re-slabbing the good coins). I'm very confident that it was NOT because I mishandled the coins. I believe strongly that it was because the standards at the TPGs had changed (probably for the better, but...). LESSON LEARNED: Take your time in deciding whether to crack out or not. Future-think as best you can.[/QUOTE]
