<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 3393, member: 487&quot;]Once again, these guys are correct. Mystery lots are put together to move merchandise that cannot be sold otherwise. Every reputable dealer has what we call a junk box. These groups of coins come out of them. Don&#039;t confuse the term junk box with the coins. Coins that are overgraded, cleaned and then slabbed by a third party grading service often fill these boxes at steep discounts. Others are the modern craze that is effecting the hobby. All coins minted from 1990 on should grade a minimum of MS-68. It is true that some services are a far cry from the top two. (PCGS-NGC) Not to say that all are bad, but some are regulars in overgrading. When looking on Ebay or anywhere else, ask yourself why a certain coin in one holder is sold for good money and the other holder with the same coin is so discounted. NO DEALER will give away coins at discounted prices when they can sell them at retail. Before buying such material, ask a reputable dealer his buy prices on these coins. That is the best indicator. Good luck. Knowledge is the key.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
