<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26262700, member: 153164&quot;]Whether someone depends on the TPG for a grade is all about the coin type. If you&#039;re talking things like 1800&#039;s US in up to mid-grade, then oftentimes no. This can go for Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Seated Liberty, Barber, Indian Heads, and Morgans to name a few. Most pieces in Mint State are what people want slabbed; otherwise, if it&#039;s a raw MS you are likely to get around MS60 CDNs. This is partially from selling a few raw Morgans all in 62-63 to an LCS; I got around the bid for a 60 in case the grading turns out not to be so high.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for modern coins in sky-high grades, barely anyone will believe you if it&#039;s not slabbed. Say you have a 1998-D nickel that you know is at least a MS-66 with full steps - Greysheet is $360 for that grade and designation (I am 100% serious here), but outside of the slab you&#039;d be lucky to get a few bucks. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure if this helped but I hope it did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
