<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 1881735, member: 36230&quot;]Wow... what a concept!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for plus grades, is this really any more absurd than those trying to squeak certain coins into a higher grade holder with the hopes of making it more &quot;<i>valuable</i>&quot;? As an example: would or should the same coin as a low-end 65 really be worth more than if residing in a more conservatively graded 64 or 64+ holder? While I will not argue that there have been certain coins that understandably could/should be upgraded to be more in-line with present market acceptance, I also believe that those who try to upgrade said &quot;<i>squeakers</i>&quot; either for profit or with the belief that X coin is somehow better in X holder are, for the most part, doing a disservice to this hobby. If someone is willing to pay up or just more for a high-end 64 as opposed to buying an iffy 65, especially if there are other aspects of the coin that adds to its desirability, it is a choice nowhere near as absurd as the notion, seemingly espoused by many, that a higher grade automatically equals a “<i>better</i>” coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
