The grade will authenticate them, for one, providing better liquidity and a larger market for them. Two, if they CAC, there are dollars in that fourth-party endorsement, however one wants to slice it. Three, they'll keep them safe from handling. Four, her heirs just have to figure out how to read a price guide to cash off on these expensive coins. There's probably more.
