<p>[QUOTE="Kent, post: 698097, member: 22491"]I called a cion dealer who had sent me a catalog to inquire about some raw coins they listed as Choice BU and Gem BU. I asked what grade should I expect if I sent one of these coins to a TPG and the lady told me their grading was very strict and the Choice BU coins would be MS61 or MS62 and the Gem BU would be MS63, but I didn't need to send them in to be graded because you never know what they are going to grade them. She said they were confident in the grades they gave the raw coins but if I wanted to get a coin graded I should buy one that is already slabed rather than sending in one they sold raw to be graded. I guess I don't understand why if they were so confident in their coins they didn't want me to send it in. Is this common practice just buy expensive graded pieces rather sending raw coins that considerably cheaper to be graded?</p><p>Thanks kent[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
