<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 694883, member: 4552"]I have never had a coin graded. I've purchased coins in slabs and broke them out for my albums. I can not understand why anyone would want a pile of plastic but then everyone has their own tasted in thier hobby. I would never send a coin for grading. Just don't see why I should. And as to the grades now being used? I really don't care about that either. </p><p>I'm from a time when there was only G, F, Unc. and Proof. When they started with the VG, VF, AU stuff some years later I really thought that was going to far. Now with a 70 point system I always wonder what is next. 100 points? 1,000 points? No, I'll stick to my own old system. I'm old so I don't care what most of my coins actually are as far as a 70 point system. G, VG, F, VF, AU, Unc and Proof are good enough for me.</p><p>At my age I am not planning on selling any coins, showing them off, bragging about them, etc., so what difference does it make what they are graded as? </p><p>Soon enough that may well be someone else's problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
