<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1866144, member: 41863&quot;]I actually have little experience with shows or major dealers. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why I frequent CoinTalk, I learn from all of you guys&#039; experience and then form my opinions or figure out what to look for, isn&#039;t that why we have this place to learn and to share?</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s millions of ways to use this site and learn from it, but by far the biggest is reading what you can about others experience and thinking about it and then evolving your opinion and your education on the subject/subjects. </p><p><br /></p><p>If on every thread about lower tier slabs the mainstream mantra is NGC or PCGS, and I ask why not ANACS, one of the top answers ALWAYS, doesn&#039;t matter the grader, is that all of the good coins have been cracked and resubmitted to the top 2 or otherwise left alone if not worth the money to do so. </p><p><br /></p><p>In other words the general stereotype has been formed that these coins aren&#039;t worth looking at because all the good ones are gone; when in fact, I listed three easily believable examples of how a coin could potentially come to market without ever seeing a real dealer who has enough sense to resubmit to PCGS or NGC in my last response. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, like I said earlier, I will continue to pursue undervalued coins in every niche, crack, cranny, and corner that I can find to fund my hobby of collecting coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>PS, don&#039;t be scared to take a chance online. You are protected on eBay to a large degree, and PayPal has your back, followed by Visa or MC or whoever you get credit from. Try to find a nice, worthy coin in a cheap underrated slab, it&#039;s as much of a thrill as hunting down that 32-S quarter, or finding that 09 SVDB in circulation. You can always return it if it&#039;s not as described/depicted. Essentially eBay has allowed an enormous mail order coin service. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it&#039;s on heritage in a lower slab, then it&#039;s probably a pretty darn good coin to begin with, but you still have slab snobs who won&#039;t buy it. </p><p><br /></p><p>And again I agree, PCGS and NGC, especially now paired with CAC, do offer that insurance you talk about. Although I will still scrutinize those coins with the combo stickers to make sure it meets my requirement and is pleasing to my eye.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
