Message:: [QUOTE="coinfisher91, post: 267159, member: 9914"]I dont like everything written here but i think it serves a good point the ANA grading standards is actually a very good book and its what taught me some of the basics of grading, but if you are a serious collector or part time dealer i would highley suggest that you attend the ANAs summer seminar in Colorado Springs they have classes from Photography to Advanced Grading and anciants the list goes on Go to MONEY.ORG and check it out. As for the slab market droping I hope it dosent as for I am involved in the coin business and that would be bad for collectors, but i dont think it will just as coingal07 said the ones that will suffer are going to be the off brand companies or self slabbers, the ones that grade a coin a 70 that if you tilt it into the light you can see scratches. now back to the modern collector coins that are graded 69 it is actually more rare to see a modern collector series coin graded below a 69 than an actual 69if that makes sence? for example whenever we are low on RGAE's Random Gold American Eagles and dont have any in stock we will send out one that is graded a 69 you just dont see any that are graded lower than that the same is with the SAE's Silver American Eagles you just dont see them below 69. i am serious though about the summer seminar it is a whole lot of fun and i would suggest it to any one who would want to go at least read a little about it MONEY.ORG[/QUOTE]
