<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2050234, member: 112&quot;]OK, but sometimes it depends on the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>Say you have a guy who thinks he knows coins. He sees a raw example in X grade offered, and he knows what a slabbed example in X grade sells for. But because he thinks he knows coins, he thinks that raw example is actually better than X grade. He might even think it&#039;s X plus 2 grades. So he pays more for the raw example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now some might want to say - yeah but that doesn&#039;t happen very often. Well from I&#039;ve seen it happens a whole lot more often than we think it should. And it happens with slabbed coins too. Matter of fact it happens with slabbed coins a lot ! The highest paid guys there are that work for the big auction houses or big dealers, that&#039;s exactly what they get paid to do ! To go out and find slabbed coins, and especially raw coins, that they think will grade higher than the grade they are offered at.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the guys who get paid to do this are pretty dang good, they really do know coins. But there&#039;s a heck of lot folks out there who &quot;think&quot; they know coins, and they try to do it all the time too. Think there isn&#039;t ? Ask yourself how many times you&#039;ve ever read a post where the poster says the TPGs under-graded his coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
