[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1066506, member: 26972"]I only pay attention to copper, so what I opine about is in relation to copper wheat cents. I chose one coin to focus on. Get multiples from different sources all the grades, plus genuine and varieties DDO's .. do some submissions, have dealers do some... so that I can learn the monkey business the OP posted about. The market of top grades of each coin are driven by those who want the most perfect example they can get. and there are a lot of them. everyone who collects coins appreciates a perfect example, right ? Obviously.. Now there a couple of things that happen, guys will bid up top pop coins to add them to their registries. A competition! Nobody ever cheats in a competition now do they? Then.... Someone like the OP submits or puts back out into public some new coins or a long lost roll or long ago hidden away slabs and all the sudden what? a saavy dealer notices that the new coins look a lot nicer than ones in his case with a certain grade. So of course!!! he resubmits them, he knows who is who, he sends a heads up, lets em know what is coming... for sure it happens, it would be foolish to say it doesn't. I think it is one thing when you are goofing around with $100 coins, quite another when you get into the multiple thousands. and those expensive coins probably should be handled with 10 times the scrutiny that the $100 coin has, yes.. no? capiche? It's that whole, you have to pay before you can play sort of thing. It is exists everywhere. whether right or wrong... it's life, and whoever said life was fair?
