<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 4951, member: 487&quot;]Thanks sir. I would be very interested in the results. We purchase coins in all holders. Our buyers go through grading classes through the ANA and our own in house program. Many coins can be cherry picked through all the services. Especially the older holders, as the services have adjusted their standards again. ICG is a good service, and we buy their coins regularly. It seems that their standards are pretty strict now. If they continue to practice these standards, we will review our opinions. PCI is another good one to watch for. Most dealers will classify their coins as &quot;Poor Coin Inside&quot;. We routinely use their two hour service at the shows for authentication purposes. Their standards aren&#039;t quite as strict, so you can&#039;t rely on the grade, but you can on whether or not it is real. With the quick turn around times, it is a great little service. </p><p>Now our firm will sell IGC coins on very rare circumstances. It is usually on Bullion pieces that trade at set levels anyways. </p><p>Since we are in the business of buying and selling coins, we must adhere to what the market wants. </p><p><br /></p><p>Despite our personal views on the subject. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you frequently trade in slabbed coins, get a copy of the BlueSheet. They list values for the sight unseen market for slabbed coins, by grading service. It will give you a better idea of how dealers rate the services.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
