"People would sell the so so ones and hang onto their best rolls" BY DEFINITION this means that those rolls HAVE been searched.  I will grant you you could look at the end coins on the roll and see some have more nicks and dings than others, but that does NOT mean that the coins inside the roll are in worse condition than rolls where the outside of the roll look perfect. I am not just talking about hearsay, I'm talking about what I have seen with my OWN eyes.  You'll note that I was the person that explained what 1989 was all about.  I've been in this slabbed coin game essentially since the beginning.  I have no idea how long you have been collecting slabs, but I think that if you talk to most people who have been collecting a given series OVER TIME, let's say AT LEAST two decades, that the quality of a coin in a given grade has deteriorated over the years.  Heck, that was why CAC came into existence in the first place.  I will be the first to say that there are some over graded coins in rattlers and other early slabs, it is just that the total make up of what is now graded at grade X has deteriorated compared to what grade X was years ago.[/QUOTE]
