[QUOTE="kanga, post: 841108, member: 9270"]For inexpensive coins (you determine your own definition of "inexpensive") you can go with just about anyone. As long as they give you good images and the price is fair, there should be no problems (unless the seller is in China). But when it come to expensive coin you REALLY have to tighten up on your standards. The "top-rated sellers" will know more about coins [B]BUT[/B] will also know how [U]not[/U] to back themselves in a corner with their descriptions of raw coins. IMO there comes a point where a coin should be in a holder from a reliable TPG. But that generally leaves a gap between what you consider expensive and what is valuable enough to merit slabbing. Those coins are the ones you should see in hand. That means a visit to a show or a store.[/QUOTE]
