[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 1579863, member: 18320"]Yep...Here again, and so soon. I'll attach pics of a specific coin at the end of this, that I've had two 'experts' differ about over eyeball grading; these two guys were sitting side by side, and may have just been giving me the run-around, but their arguments were about subtle points of wear and color, and seemed genuine....I am clueless about such subtleties. One was sure it wasn't any better than EF40; the other thought it should go as AU50. Your collective opinions will be welcome, for sure. The larger issue for me is this: how to assess, [before sending a coin (there'll be about 50-60 Morgan & Peace dollars to consider) for slabbing], whether the cost is justified in terms of return at sale? No doubt this question is dirt-common, and has been answered elsewhere in the forums, and I will pursue that thread. I plan to use ANACS, but can only justify that preliminary decision based on the preferences of others. Seems the consensus is that they deliver better value consistently, and return your coins somewhat more promptly. I gotta start somewhere. Again, my thanks for your help.
