[QUOTE="JCro57, post: 4314490, member: 92083"]There are three main problems/concerns that arise when people send coins in for authentication, attribution, and grading to grading companies: 1. People are not happy with the grade or that it got designated as a damaged or "Details' coin. 2. The grading companies did not accurately describe the coin on the label. 3. Grading is not consistent from not only one grading company to the next, but even among graders at the same grading service. I seldom send coins in for grading because (1) I am pretty decent at finding altered and totally counterfeit error coins and (2) I am not spending $50-$80 to have them tell me what I already know. All I can say is, as far as grading goes, eye appeal is much more important than a coin's grade. An attractive AU-55 will almost always sell more quickly and possibly for more money than an ugly MS-63 (depending on rarity and series).[/QUOTE]
