<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1382929, member: 28971"]If it's a major variety, you really do need the attribution. It's easy to say 'This is a PR65CAM Superbird' (or whatever variety it is), but without that attribution on the cert, it just won't bring the $$ it should, as the potential buyer will bid accordingly (lowball) due to the fact THEY'LL have to incur all those fees mentioned (well, re-holder it vs. full blown grading, plus attribution....$34 vs $54)..not to mention, say, on ebay, if the buyer doesn't see it on the slab, they may just 'walk on by'. I know when I see a coin that is a certain variety, because it shows up on my search (because the seller puts it in the title), and the cert doesn't show it, but the seller puts a sticker on it saying it's a certain variety, and they want the same amount as if it were attributed, I walk on by it, due to their laziness or their being too cheap to have it done. </p><p><br /></p><p>Granted, the attribution fees are a bit high, but in the long run, most of the time it's worth it...IF it's a major variety. Minor varieties, different story, as they bring minor money anyway, so why bother with those???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
