[QUOTE="H8_modern, post: 2014860, member: 28531"]I think the OP's first question is really two different questions. It seems to me that arguing about the grade of an NGC or PCGS graded coin is pointless no matter how much you disagree. Your first decision is whether you want it and how badly. Then you may argue price but arguing grade won't get you anywhere. It's a different story for dealer graded coins in 2x2s. Still, you first decide if you want it and how much you want it. Then you can point out objective features of the coin and argue your position of what you think it should grade. This just sets the stage because the dealer won't really care what you think. Then you begin to negotiate the price. The dealer will consider what he thinks it should grade, the price at that grade and how much he has in the coin (and how much he likes you). Maybe you will agree at some point and maybe you won't but discussing the grade of a raw coin should not be considered rude. ( unless you're a jerk about it)[/QUOTE]
