[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3553660, member: 76086"]Barry, No offense here. I appreciate what you and Dave do overall. I really dont know the 'ins and outs' of what you guys do, and maybe you can help us to understand how the market is changing (despite that many of us wish it were not so). To tell the truth I was actually thinking about 'net grades' when I was composing my response. I felt that while a technical grade might be "AU" it was in essence "EF" or even less. But my opinion isn't really what maters. Yours and Daves are. It might be helpful for us to understand as you mention what one pays for. It almost, or kind of, or maybe, whatever, sounds like you will get a better grade if you pay the higher slabbing price. I have no clue. As a capitalist, I want to achieve the highest price possible for my coins, but as a collector I wish to keep my integrity intact. Somewhere there is a balance between the two, I am certain. Keep in mind I have handled less than just ten slabs over the years. I really have a tendency to avoid them at all cost.[/QUOTE]
