<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 183431, member: 705&quot;]I totaly disagree about not slabbing the coins.</p><p>Here is the reason more than likely he didn&#039;t want you to get them graded.</p><p>Grading is an Art and most of the time people will grade a coin unlike the guy next door---I might have a coin I think is VF but the dealer thinks it is only F while the guys on here think it is XF.....now lets just say that the coin in VF is worth $800 while in F it is worth $500 and in XF it is worth $1000.....now if I send the coin to NGC and it comes back VF the dealer can&#039;t really move around that fact and so he will be more willing to pay the VF price whereas before he would only pay F....</p><p>You see what I mean?...grading is subject to each person---and while the grading companies aren&#039;t always 100% right they take that chance out of the question and in most cases you get more money---if the dealer doesn&#039;t want it slabbed you can sell a slabbed coins easy on the internet---where as a raw coin isn&#039;t going to sell good online....slabbing makes a coin marketable---and you can almost buy a coin sight-un-seen when it is slabbed....</p><p>I do agree with the dealer that you should keep the set---or if you must sell it take it to more dealers---</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
