<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 7436, member: 487&quot;]For all of you aspiring collectors out there, let me tell you the down side to a dealers day. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a small example of how much fun we get to have.</p><p><br /></p><p>We submitted a large handful of coins for certification hoping for those ultimate grades. Now considering that we do this for a living, one would think we were good at it. But with grading services, you just never know. </p><p>So we rack off some that appear to be flawless coins, and 15 get real nice 68 grades on them. Nothing like spending $25 to slab a $4 coin. </p><p>5 proof coins direct from the Mint package were body bagged for having altered surfaces. No idea on how that happens.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Somedays it doesn&#039;t pay to be a dealer. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is one good example of why we (dealers) tell others to consider this profession very carefully. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just so you know the day wasn&#039;t a total loss, we did manage to get a few 70 grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
