[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 776586, member: 112"]May I ask why you would want to go to the extra expense of sunitting the coin for grading yourself ? You have virtually nothing to gain by doing this and a good bit to lose. I mean no disrepsect, but based on this thread you don't know how to grade gold coins yourself, or recognize potential problems - so the odds of you picking out a nice one for a fair price are slim indeed. And for the same reason, the odds are good that you will pick out a problem coin that would not be graded and slabbed. Thus you would be losing money for nothing. Whereas if you bought a coin already slabbed, you would not have the added expense of grading, which is considerable percentage wise to the value of the coin. And you would at least have the benefit of buying a coin with a reasonable expectation of it being graded correctly and a guarantee of authenticity. Seems to me to be a no brainer to buy a coin already graded and slabbed.[/QUOTE]
