[QUOTE="QUEENKOIN, post: 34828, member: 656"]Many GEMs can be found in these 'third teir' holders, but one must really know how to grade their series of choice. In other words if say you are building a Franklin set, being able to grade and spot problems will help you indentify problem coins and keepers. Problem coins tend to be the norm in some of these holders, problem or overgrading.... I have found many lovely examples in these holders, however I was able to examine the coin in person... The concensus would say that the bottom feeders tend to over grade, and I am in agreement with that, but I also find sometimes they screw up the other way and undergrade...... Develope your grading eye, learn the nuances of your series of choice, and treat these holdered coins as raw coins and pay accordingly with respect to current market conditions. Many bargains abound out there, but the eye must be sharp to spot them... HepKitty[/QUOTE]
