[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 5143903, member: 105098"]Look, in my "opinion" people over the years send all kinds of stuff to be graded or authenticated. occasionally coins that shouldn't have been sent get sent by novices that think everything needs to be slabbed. 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. Anything that for sure won't straight grade by a company isn't going to fly as a lowball though, if it's details, it's a no go. 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's not worth the costs because unless you have a few people fighting for it, the price will not push up on it. it's going to sell for P or FR money. This "looking for lowballs to send for grading" is a losing proposition all the way around unless it's a rare keydate or something even then a better example is the way to go. The lowball set builders are a very small market segment and they are doing it and trying to do it on the cheap.[/QUOTE]
