<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 4630273, member: 74624"]Rick B, grading isn't as simple as you make it out to be. I could find two experienced graders and they may not agree on a particular coin's grade. Each coin series has it's quirks so an expert in one may not be an expert in another. Hats off to you to want to learn about being a good grader. But the reality is that experience is the best teacher. What we all decide to buy, whether it be raw or slabbed, is our individual choice and what makes it fun for us. I don't want to knock anyone for what they want to do with their time and money. The TPGs do serve a valuable purpose in our hobby and I'm grateful for their existence. I can buy coins online with a lot more confidence than raw coins. Plus, I feel it necessary to have an exit strategy at some point in time so unloading slabbed vs raw coins, whether by myself or my heirs, is important.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
