<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kortgawain, post: 58858, member: 3520&quot;]I agree with Speedy about slabbed versus raw coins, but for me the excitement of collecting comes more from buying raw coins and finding a gem versus comparing or critiqueing professional grading services.&nbsp; Somehow, the service companies make us too dependent on them for building our collections, and they are certainly far from perfect as you can tell in reading the forums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, it is apparent that they are here to stay, so we might as well use them for the coins we may want to sell at some time or the ones where we feel they are special coins worthy of professional review.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
