<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EvilKidsMeal, post: 1128890, member: 28937&quot;]Alot of it has to do with the desirability of the coin. Would you rather have a crudded up, scratched featureless coin, or a flawless example? I&#039;d say 99.9% of collectors would opt for the second option, or atleast as close to it as they can get/afford. Having it graded shows without a doubt (in most cases) the condition of the coin. Therefore, collectors looking for top quality pieces will have the proof they are looking for. In short high grades are most desirable, and having a confrimed grade is sort of like insuring the coin is desirable to collectors. Coins graded by trusted, top tier companys are much easier to sell.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rarity also has alot to do with it, however. A rare slabbed/graded coin is worth way more *(edit) to most collectors* than a raw common coin, especially since there are collectors who only collect slabbed coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
