<p>[QUOTE="LETSBUYCOINS, post: 65562, member: 2657"]Dont waste your time with anything but PCGS or NGC. Those are the only two you wont lose money on.</p><p>The dealers and big collectors dont trust any other slabs from any other grading companies. And try to stay away from unslabbed coins unless you pay AU price, or MS-60. You cant trust grades on unslabbed coins. The dealers grade low when they buy from you, and jack up the grades when they sell. You have to be very careful. On EBAY buy PCGS slabs. On ebay buy NGC slabs. DONT buy anything else on ebay. Theres too many grades. this old theory that it takes hundreds and thousands of coins to pass in front of your eyes to be a good grader is bull****. Only the grading companies see that many coins, and they overgrade for their best customers. The hobby needs more specific standards for each grade, and less grades of mint. There should be clear concise grading rules, so that even a five year old could grade coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
