<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1885789, member: 5233"]So...what you are saying is if I took two coins (let's say 1914-D Lincoln Cents), one is a problem free G4 and the other is a problem free XF45. I took these two coins and I harshly cleaned them in the EXACT same manner...you are saying they now have the exact same value? That is how I read your original post. Is that correct? If that is what you are saying, I disagree with you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on what I have seen, the now details XF will still sell for more than the now details G. However, I do agree that a problem free G should normally sell for more than the details XF.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Based on what I have seen as far as sales prices...I don't have a subscription to the Greysheet...slabbed coins will sell for more money. That's simply the way it is today. There is a monetary value to the slab. The coin isn't worth more...but the coin with the expert opinion is. On low value coins (coins that probably shouldn't have been slabbed)...the difference is negligible. But, on coins of value it is not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
