<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sylvester, post: 28292, member: 708&quot;]That&#039;s exactly the way i view it Terry.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find slabs patronising, so yeah i might not be a professional grader, but i&#039;ll never learn to grade as good if i rely on their say so all along. Plus i find it patronising for them to tell me what the coin is, i should know that myself and i should be able to tell if it&#039;s real or not. Plus i never agree with the grade they give on the older British coins. I saw a 1750 sixpence graded as MS63, and i tell you now i wouldn&#039;t have graded it one point over EF. To make matters worse they&#039;d then graded a 1758 shilling and graded that one as AU58 despite the fact that, that one was clearly better than the other one. But of course the 1758 ones aren&#039;t as rare as the 1750 ones. So were they creating a market? I avoid them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
