<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 5143903, member: 105098&quot;]Look, in my &quot;opinion&quot; people over the years send all kinds of stuff to be graded or authenticated. </p><p>occasionally coins that shouldn&#039;t have been sent get sent by novices that think everything needs to be slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>the grade is the grade and the value is the value, whether is slabbed or not. a really low grade, straight graded example MAY sell for higher if it gets enough attention and more than one person wants it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anything that for sure won&#039;t straight grade by a company isn&#039;t going to fly as a lowball though, if it&#039;s details, it&#039;s a no go. </p><p><br /></p><p>A lowball set should be put together out of other peoples errors in judgement for getting coins graded. You should not spend your money to get a well worn common date coin graded. it&#039;s not worth the costs because unless you have a few people fighting for it, the price will not push up on it. it&#039;s going to sell for P or FR money.</p><p><br /></p><p>This &quot;looking for lowballs to send for grading&quot; is a losing proposition all the way around unless it&#039;s a rare keydate or something even then a better example is the way to go.&nbsp; The lowball set builders are a very small market segment and they are doing it and trying to do it on the cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
