<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1208053, member: 17919&quot;]Why does everyone seem to assume that all higher end coins have already been slabbed? I can imagine several scenarios in which higher-end coins would not have been graded up to now. For example:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Long-time collector prefers to have his coins in albums, rather than slabs.</p><p>2) Long-time collector had original rolls of uncirculated coins saved from the &#039;50s and &#039;60s (when uncirculated rolls were all the rage), then he died recently and his estate just sold the rolls to a dealer, who cherrypicked the best coins and sent them off for grading.</p><p>3) Long-time collector thinks &quot;Why should I pay $35-40 to have someone grade my coins when I can do it myself?</p><p>4) Long-time collector thinks &quot;Why should I pay $35-40 to have someone grade a coin that probably isn&#039;t worth that much?</p><p>5) Collector finds high-end US coin in the stock of a foreign coin dealer who isn&#039;t concerned with fine differences in uncirculated grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
