<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 43582, member: 112&quot;]There are more than a few who share that opinion. But consider the alternative - can you recall what it was like buying coins before the grading companies came along ? If you can&#039;t, doesn&#039;t matter - it&#039;s still the same when buying raw coins today. What&#039;s that like ? When you buy a raw coin and the dealer says it is X grade - is it ? Or is it Y grade ?</p><p><br /></p><p>So to me - there isn&#039;t any difference between buying a raw coin and a slabbed coin. You&#039;ll either agree with the grade or you won&#039;t. And it doesn&#039;t matter what anybody else thinks the grade is.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for what the grading companies charge to slab a coin - that&#039;s easy to avoid - don&#039;t submit them and pay it. If you want a slabbed coin, buy your coins already slabbed - let somebody else pay the fee. There are plenty who will.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting now for over 45 yrs - I have yet to ever submit a single coin to a grading company. I don&#039;t plan to either. It&#039;s too easy to do it the way I have described above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
