<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Golden 04051, post: 1981539, member: 71979&quot;]I hope you don&#039;t mind me giving you my penny&#039;s worth on this topic. It angers me to hear about grading companies involved in Numismatics. It is fine if you only want to use coins as an investment but they should not be allowed into the world of Numismatics as they are destroying the hobby. Numismatics is the collecting of coins for the purposes of retaining history and being able to find rare or unusual specimens, not deal with them for the highest financial return. A collector should be allowed to negotiate with sellers on grade and value, not have a grade thrown into their faces with exorbitant prices. In addition if a proof coin comes from the Mint in a sealed Perspex capsule with a history, the coin is removed and eventually resealed in another capsule which immediately destroys the numismatic value of that item. Thank you for bearing with me and I hope you make the best decision for yourself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
