<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2929746, member: 36864"]The problem with your single comparison is that it is a relatively modern coin and is widely available in high grades. It only take one small hoard to sell and destroy much of the premium. There are lots of older collections that were not slabbed and not part of population reports that come to market everyday. I'm nowhere near as ancient (and I say that in the best possible way) as most of our members, but i have been collecting since the time when you actually needed to learn how to grade or get taken. My Franklin set has been complete for over twenty years now with every date, mint mark and proof strike and none of them are graded. Frankly, they weren't worth the cost of submission until relatively recently. I would suspect that the vast majority of Franklin sets are not graded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
