<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 929111, member: 15309&quot;]I translate that to mean that you can&#039;t grade raw coins on your own and won&#039;t pay price guide prices because you don&#039;t have any faith in your own grading ability.&nbsp; An MS65 Jefferson Nickel is still an MS65 Jefferson Nickel once it is removed from it&#039;s slab.&nbsp; There are plenty of collectors who will pay money for a raw coin the same way you pay for a certified coin.&nbsp; Furthermore, if you think that the ANACS holder provided any value to those coins, you are sadly mistaken.&nbsp; Whomever sent those coins in to be graded had no idea what they were doing.&nbsp; The cost associated with certifying a $5-$10 coin will guarantee that the submitter loses money.&nbsp; I am not the submitter and will not lose any money on those coins.&nbsp; And even if I did, I paid $40 for the entire lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most members of this forum would consider me one of the biggest proponents of certified coins.&nbsp; However, that support is not blind and only applies to PCGS &amp; NGC.&nbsp; Personally, after engaging in Bahabully&#039;s grading contest, I don&#039;t ever want to own another ANACS graded coin.&nbsp; I would rather the coin be raw.&nbsp; Hence, the ANACS holders are in a pile and the coins are in a Intercept Shield album.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
