<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charley, post: 5354495, member: 5372&quot;]for the rcord, i replied to this one also, and was not signed in. ridiculous. that is 2x. i am calling my doctor.</p><p>so, again:</p><p><br /></p><p>yes. i agree. i can&#039;t bring myself to opine on a coin using market grading. i think the catalyst for market grading was birthed in 79-80, when the poop hit the fan. 20% interest rates didn&#039;t help. the inevitable happened...tpgs, and investment emphasis slowly changed the hobby. good or bad? not for me to decide. i just prefer the old ana standards, and that keeps me away from giving value opinions that are a daily moving target and i prefer not to mislead someone. i just try to give an honorable opinion of a coin, and let others talk $.&nbsp; if i absolutely have to give a $ opinion. i go to heritage sales history. i do not base my own opinions because of the holder, or the gray sheet, or any other reason except technical grade. it is what i liked about and still like about the early ana graded pieces, and to a certain degree, the ogh coins, especially in the sl series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
