<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 269222, member: 112&quot;]Did it solve all of our problems, of course not.&nbsp; But if you can&#039;t see where slabbing has done any good then you must have your eyes, as well as your mind, closed. Of course it could also be that you just weren&#039;t involved in the hobby prior to the advent of the TPG&#039;s so you don&#039;t know what the differences are.</p><p><br /></p><p>For before PCGS &amp; NGC came along it was so commonplace for dealers to sell over-graded, over-priced, altered, counterfeit and problem coins to collectors that the hobby was in danger of fading away entirely.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes it is wrong for you to expect that, but not for the reason you think. It is wrong because you are selling a Mint set to the dealer, not individual coins. And Mint sets are an item that is priced by the market in its own right - they are not sold or bought based on the grade of the individual coins. They always have been and they always will be.</p><p><br /></p><p>If however, you were to take the coins out of the mint packaging and offer to sell them individually, then and only then could you expect the coins to be considered based on their grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
