<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3346631, member: 19463&quot;]I disagree.&nbsp; With the increasing presence of slabs in the hobby, a greater number of buyers are buying the labels and don&#039;t know enough to look at the coin inside.&nbsp; They may ask our advice on the coin and be told not to remove the coin from the slab because it will resell for more as MS&nbsp; in plastic than VF in hand.&nbsp; I respect dealers that do not place grades on their descriptions of photographed coins.&nbsp; They are not after the inflation market.&nbsp; I don&#039;t care, you don&#039;t care but the labeled grade is the most important feature to the average buyer of ordinary coins in high grade.&nbsp; The price of coins of several rulers may be the same but the people who can&#039;t tell rulers apart do know they should pay more for that inflated label.&nbsp; Those of us who buy for the coin don&#039;t care.&nbsp; When will we become the minority? Tomorrow?&nbsp; Yesterday?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
