<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5125302, member: 101855&quot;]Grading has always varied from one slab to another for the same issue of coin in the same assigned grade. Some of that is due to the fact that every coin is unique in some way, and some of it is due to the fact that the standards have been inconsistently applied even during the same generation of slab label.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t buy expensive U.S. coins anymore because of CAC. I made the decision that if I had to have one man’s approval for every coin purchase that I made, it was time to stop buying. I love what I have, but I am not adding to it. I also did not want to go through the risk of shipping coins to a grader again after I had gone though that with a substantial part of my collection 20 years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I am collecting British and ancient Roman coins. I prefer most them raw unless it’s something like a Proof, which you should never touch anyway. Raw coins are much easier to store because they take up a lot less room, and many of the people who collect ancient Roman and hammered British prefer raw coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
