<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1266997, member: 29751&quot;]Grading is subjective.&nbsp; For the items to be &quot;liquid&quot; in the market if you ever want to sell them, it is beneficial if those grades you have listed are assigned by a respectable/reputable Third Party Grader (NGC, PCGS, ANACS, ICG).&nbsp; I would ask if the coins are certified and encapsulated (slabbed in plastic) before paying anything close to what they are going for on eBay.&nbsp; See my comments below in <span style="color: #0000cd"><b>blue</b></span>.&nbsp; In general, I would say the whole lot is probably over-graded by at least 2-3 if not more grades on each coin.&nbsp; The Cameo and Deep Cameo attribution for Proofs from the 1950s and 1960s are also likely a little bit loose.&nbsp;
