<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 7847748, member: 13650&quot;]Anyone who has not tried submitting their best loose coins to a TPG should try it.&nbsp; Pick the best ones you think that will grade and be prepared for disappointment.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s very difficult.&nbsp; &nbsp; They err on the side of caution.&nbsp; If there&#039;s any question, details it is.&nbsp; Unless it&#039;s something from the 1700s.&nbsp; They will sometimes give decent old coins from 18th century a break.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;ve learned a lot submitting loose stuff myself.&nbsp;&nbsp; If it&#039;s worn and unnaturally shiny, no chance.&nbsp;&nbsp; MS details with fine scratches you may not see?&nbsp;&nbsp; No chance.&nbsp;&nbsp; Blast white, perfect details?&nbsp; Luster off?&nbsp; No chance.&nbsp; Tiny scratch?&nbsp; Corrosion?&nbsp; You guessed it.&nbsp; The list goes on.&nbsp; &nbsp; You learn to not submit much unless it&#039;s straight from the mint or a nice coin in a crappy holder that you want replaced with a fresh new scratch resistant so you can take a decent picture of the coin.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; You could come to the conclusion that a good majority of quality coins are already in slabs as that seems to assign the most trust and value in them aside from being great storage.&nbsp; Also gives a rough, general idea of population remaining for many.&nbsp; &nbsp; While not flawless, people for the most part trust them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Greysheet has bluesheet sections for values of sight unseen NGC and PCGS slabs.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; And obviously there&#039;s tons of sub $50-100 coins that will never be worth slabbing because it costs too much to do so unless somebody has a very specific low grade set going.&nbsp;&nbsp; There will always be plenty of loose, lower grade stuff to handle that&#039;s not counted in the surviving populations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
