<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 633446, member: 6036&quot;]I understand. It&#039;s easy to feel that way, since we aren&#039;t in control of the results.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I prefer to think of it like poker. The lottery is pure luck, but poker is a game of skill with an element of luck.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Don&#039;t ever just send coins in &quot;hoping for the best&quot; - particularly these days. That approach is disappointing - you&#039;ll lose more than you win. I&#039;m not saying the OP did that. I&#039;m saying I have done it and learned the hard way ! Never again.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s a game of skill with an element of chance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It also reveals an important truth - <i>the vast majority of raw coins are overgraded, by dealers and owners alike</i>. The slab-haters need to remember that when thinking they got a &quot;bargain&quot; raw coin, and would never pay extra for a slab. Yes, they&#039;re paying less... but might be getting less than they think. (Again - no reflection on the OP).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
