<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lardan, post: 8528905, member: 138663&quot;]I have a question concerning coins I see on tv for sale. You watch part of a show and they will be selling lets say Morgan dollars either one or several as a group. It could be Peace Dollars or Franklin halves, just using Morgans as an example. They are slabbed and decent grades by NGC&nbsp; and/or PCGS. The price really has nothing to do with my question.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you watch part of another show 2 weeks later and there will now be Morgan Dollars for sale as brilliant uncirculated. They look good, cartwheel nice as they either move the light over the coins or visa- versa.&nbsp; My question is as good as they look why were these coins not sent in for grading. They can certainly get coins graded cheaper than I can.&nbsp; They would be worth more money if they were graded resulting in a higher price.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there is some cherry picking, showing the best on the show, but they all have free returns. I&#039;m not sure who pays for the return, the buyer or seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>A secondary question I suppose is this. Lets say someone bought this five coin set of Morgans and the buyer sent them in for grading. What would be the likely outcome for the coins?&nbsp; Are they really brilliant uncirculated?&nbsp; If they are BU as they were sold then they all should grade MS 60 or better shouldn&#039;t they?&nbsp; The other thing is if you buy them and send them in for grading I&#039;m sure before you find out anything on the coins the return has expired. I would also say to get a free return they would have to be in their original packaging which I guess you could save before sending them off for grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can assure you I&#039;m not asking to work an angle to do this, don&#039; t have time or desire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
