<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WaA140, post: 48914, member: 2663&quot;]I have wondered the same thing but after some thought and after having considered sending coins in for grading myself and then realizing that it wouldn&#039;t be worth it, it occurs to me that some people may have sent the coins in believing they were worth more than they really were.&nbsp; I think there are some that may have believed that getting a coin slabbed and graded automatically makes it worth $50 or more.&nbsp; When they discover their error there really isn&#039;t any point to removing the coin from the slab.&nbsp; The grade probably does add some value just not enough to cover the costs of grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, it may be that for some people the cost of grading the coin is irrelevant and they just want to know the grade of the coin in their collection.&nbsp; Then later they sell it or it gets sold at an estate sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
