<p>[QUOTE="moneycostingmemoney, post: 2695445, member: 86367"][USER=1892]@SuperDave[/USER] thank you so much for sharing this. I fully agree with, and understand, the importance of trusting ones eye when making a decision on a coin but until I gain that confidence I'm at the mercy of the stickers on slabs, for the most part. I'm a novice, at best, and am getting better at eyeing the differences in grading groups (goods, fines, AUs and MSs) but while flipping through the Redbook and Coin World the price jumps between some grades make me a little gun-shy (like some doubling or tripling in value from EF-40 to AU-50). My safest position until I get better with grading by eye will be to stay away from purchasing coins that fall in that category, keep practicing grading already graded coins and heed the advice of the experienced. Thanks again. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The advantages and disadvantages are a part of what I'm looking for as well. The pricing is on their websites but who specializes in what and in a close call who do you trust and why? Opinions hold weight if in common with many and with what I've learned on CT in just a couple days I figured this would be the best pool to see who's drinking/driving what and why.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
