<p>[QUOTE="DavidinCA, post: 1325814, member: 34905"]Thanks for the replies...but I do wonder about not buyng for the grade or slab. Certainly I would want to buy a coin that is appealing to me, but I also would want it to be appealing to someone else if I needed to sell it. Therefore, having it verified by PCGS as authentic, not cleaned, and of certain VAM or grade probably is important to me - especially as I start out. I've been reading that PCGS is the top trusted grading company with many. What I don't like is the old fashion writing of grade on a white paper holder of coin (with price) because anyone can write anything they like - it doesn't have to be true. That to me is more of a trap than buying a coin because it's been slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been to both the VAMWorld.com and Heritage Websites.
