<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vipergts2, post: 251919, member: 3881&quot;]Even with inflated prices on the PCGS price guide to draw busines to thier company, the problem is this. you are comparing apples to oranges. a good example is a 1957 lincoln cent. If the low tier grading company grades a coin ms 67 they can claim&nbsp; a value of $ 9,250 ( e-coin values) but if the coin is over graded just one point, the vaue dropps to $50, if it is over graded three or four points, most likely the vaue is just $ 10. that is a huge difference.</p><p>The 1963 lincoln lists for $ 5,000 in ms 67, but in ms 63 it lists for $ 6, which would be hard to get that price for a common Lincoln.</p><p>The self slabber overgrades to make money. Often time they know what grade makes the big jump in value so that what they put on there coins.</p><p>If you are going to buy slabbed coins, it is best to stick with PCGS, NGC or ANACS. And go by completed auction results for your price guide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
