<p>[QUOTE=&quot;E Pluribus Unum, post: 2717886, member: 74265&quot;]35,787,329 graded as of 4/22.&nbsp; I know very little about how the actual &quot;grading process&quot; is conducted, especially considering almost 36 million coins.&nbsp; I have been using third party graders to primarily authenticate the coin.&nbsp; The grading numbers do not mean much to me.&nbsp; In many cases, I feel that there is too much emphasis placed upon assigning a single number to a coin to ascribe all of its aesthetic attributes and, ultimately, it price.&nbsp; But this is another topic.&nbsp; As far as counterfeit coins, I am beginning to wonder what will happen to coin collecting if it comes to a point when third party graders are unable to successfully authenticate coins.&nbsp; How hard can it be to duplicate 19th century technology especially operating outside US borders?&nbsp; This graded liberty nickel is going for $500.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]614980[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
