<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinage86, post: 195352, member: 7584&quot;]the 70 point system might be crap.&nbsp; But it is because there is a 70 point grading system that we need slabbers.&nbsp;&nbsp; PCGS has been grading coins for about 20 years.&nbsp; Their graders have seen lots of coins: enough to be better graders than the average collector or small-time coinshop owner.&nbsp; &nbsp; If I need money and have to sell my coins, I dont want to be wasting time and money running around from dealer to dealer trying to get the best grade, and thus best price.&nbsp;&nbsp; In a PCGS holder, 8 or 9 dealers out of 10 will agree with the PCGS grade. The top three graders are recognized as grading authorities and their slabs save a lot of hassle.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If any of you are in South Florida, then you might know Ron Steinberg.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ron told me in europe they have three grades: poor, average, and near mint.&nbsp; <span style="color: red">Let&#039;s stay on topic and avoid inappropriate language.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
