Message:: [QUOTE="Jhonn, post: 256698, member: 5418"]I thought that slabbed coins were what the Greysheet dealt with? What's the point then of sight-unseen ask prices when it comes to raw coins? That's a scary commitment, esp. since grading is so subjective when it comes to individuals. If you always generally trust certain TPG's (out of the main four), then you are comfortable with setting a price for any coin assuming such-and-such company graded it because you trust their standards and don't really need to see the coin based on that trust. Granted, you should always buy the coin and not the holder, but that's not always possible, and that's not exactly the point of the Greysheet, eitehr. The Heritage site is nice to give a general idea, but I just wanted to see through the Greysheet the pricing differences between ICG, PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. I haven't seen the coin, and don't really know what approximate grade it is or whether it's been cleaned and only worth sending to ANACS, but that's why I feel it should be slabbed - so that it's worth more than just some raw coin - even if I don't personally like slabbed coins. But like I said, this is all in the interest of a friend, though I would send it off to be graded if only to turn it around quickly should I want to sell it.[/QUOTE]
