<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3448730, member: 19463"]We will just have to disagree. Lower end coins are not worth paying $40 to have slabbed and the lower price options are not worth having. Without the strike and surface ratings, the grades are meaningless for ancients. The other companies I have seen are jokes. Lower end coins will be available only at high prices. Currently there is a weak demand for lower end coins. Look at the unsolds from Bing's auctions. Look at the coins I have been trying to sell but have even been refused once when I tried to give some to a young CT poster. It would cost me between $70k and $150k to slab my collection depending on the options. Then I could sell the collection for more? I won't know, I'm older than Ken. If I last another 40 years, I'll be in a really bad mood. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes and I am sure that that fact is a lot of what I find offensive unless bulk submittors' coins are graded with only one eye open. Overall, I agree with Ken's view above. When we are gone, you can slab our coins if that is what you require.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
