<p>[QUOTE="JayF, post: 3037438, member: 92530"]Thank you all for the responses. I'm thinking of just keeping it based on the consensus lol. I'm a bit surprised and humbled on how I thought the coin was worth the grade (and really how much it could sell) and everyone pretty much says it's not worth the grade fee. I've learn today that I need to read more on what "they" look for when grading coins instead of just reading up on what the different grades are. It seems self grading based on comparisons may not be sufficient, I'll try and make my way to a coin show some time and maybe learn more when I see real slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm still angry at the fact that there are membership fees but since there's no one out there to question it, they get away with it. I just feel they're forcing it on people and no one bothered to question it. Anyway, I'll rant about that some other day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again to all those who responded, I'll check out ANA some more and maybe sign up with them. Hope other newbies read this and think about what it will take to get a coin graded. Have a good day all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
