<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheCoinGeezer, post: 1385125, member: 34700&quot;]Why - because some people who only THINK they know how to grade coins believe their precious coin is gonna come back with a high enough grade that would make the fees worthwhile.</p><p>I&#039;m glad they do it though.</p><p>I collect certified Roosevelt dimes, even the clad ones, and most of the series isn&#039;t worth sending in for certification.</p><p>I managed to obtain a very large lot of clad ones in one lot on eBay a couple of years ago for about $5/coin, which, of course, is a mere fraction of the grading fees.</p><p>I constantly monitor eBay for the certified clad ones I still need but, other than proofs, they simply don&#039;t show up much. Proving, I suppose, that people have more common sense than I generally give them credit for! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
