[QUOTE="mrbrklyn, post: 458876, member: 4381"]LOL Old Man - you can get grumpy. I get the point your making but I still say that without a grade they aren't making a contribution to the scams. Sure, scammers and crooks can use any tool available to make the hook. But you can inconvenience people to no end with protections. Have you noticed you have to sign for cold medicine now and show an ID because a small percentage of people, very small I might add, will turn Psuedoephedrine to MethAmphetamine? Meanwhile the drug companies as a result are now using Phenyephrine to avoid the regulation except that they pulled that drug off the market years ago because it caused sudden heart attacks in segments of the population. I don't think this is rational. Its a monolithic analysis which fails to take a broad view of the impact of a decision on all levels of society. Its one of the reasons why government sucks. Staircases have been made illegal... This is the same. If someone sends a coin to PCGS a coin they have a reasonable expectation for that coin to be graded and slabbed. That doesn't mean not slabbed ... but slabbed and graded. I never understood this idea of not slabbing the coin because of problems. Problems is part of the grade. And it should be, IMO, stated on the label. 1915-0 Nickel FAKE - NO NUIMASTIC VALUE 1795 Cooper Cent Fright Problem Coin - Rim Scratch and Corrosion AG-3 Details with problems Ruben[/QUOTE]
