<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Virginian, post: 398683, member: 15201&quot;]Looking at what is in slabs these days I can not honestly say their standards for a grade are better than mine.&nbsp; True, raw you can get burned, but I have seen discounted slabs simply because nobody with eyeballs that see will believe the grade on the slab from even the much vaunted PCGS or NGC in some cases.&nbsp; Cleaned coins for me are failry easy to spot especially in higher grades.&nbsp; Using the buddy system and getting other opinions with raw coins is life saver if you have some doubt.&nbsp; New material surfaces and while I agree that lots of US coins have been slabbed, there are many that surface that haven&#039;t, you just need to look.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
