<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 128957, member: 68"]"Another important point to be aware of in purchasing the very high-grade modern coins is that the high grades mostly result from dealers sending in prescreened coins in bulk lots that they’ve removed from sets. It is rare for a collector or dealer to send in just a few cherrypicked coins and get back the very high grades of 69 or 70. Therefore, many dealers obtain their inventories of these coins from bulk submissions, rather than outright purchases." </p><p><br /></p><p>This applies only to specific issues like many of the proofs and most of the later date bullion coins. It does not apply to most of the older BU coins since these are not normally sent in as large bulk submissions. Where is someone going to come up with something like thousands of '73 Ikes or 1970 quarters? They aren't available in quantity and if they were there still would be very few that are worth the grading fee.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
