<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 1582296, member: 18320&quot;]How interesting to learn that &#039;grading&#039; (as opposed to authenticity certification) is an extra cost option in some cases! Silly me...I thought it was an all-inclusive, tell-all report on the coin at hand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So: slabbing doesn&#039;t answer all the questions, it&#039;s sort of a loss leader, and there is still the (larger or smaller) risk of the dread &#039;body bag&#039;, which (I will stick my neck out here and surmise) usually means your wee treasure ain&#039;t: it&#039;s fake, or otherwise unfit for market. I am so embarrassed in my dotage to find bo bottom to my ignorance of fundamentals...and not just about the arcana of numismatics either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the continuing guidance.&nbsp; As you were too polite to finish your last thought, please allow me: we&#039;re ALL equipped to have opinions, and the older one gets the more they, and those of others (particularly paid &#039;experts&#039;) can reasonably be called into dispute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
