[QUOTE="MorganFred, post: 34756, member: 1779"]Goes to credibility of the witness.:D I would be way out of my league if I were showing ANYTHING to Q. David B. ;) (BTW, I'm currently reading his GREAT [I] Red Book of Morgan Silver Dollars.)[/I] It's one of my few character flaws - I don't like being in a position to have to be on the defensive when showing off coins. Exception: I keep a couple NTC and other un-tiered slabbed coins around for teaching purposes to show differences in grading companies. I also will buy an NTC-slabbed coin if it's something I want, but I'm very careful to presume it's gonna grade at least a couple points lower and bid accordingly.
