Good post. :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p>Original question. &quot;Does a slabbed coin worth more than a raw coin?&quot; Answer, unfortunalty most of the time, yes. Reason being, I&#039;ll probable get flamed or something for this, but most people are lazy. People generally like to find the easy way out most of the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of taking the time to learn to grade, and work at it, they would much rather rely on someone else&#039;s opinion. Which can end up costing a lot of money in the long run. I&#039;ve seen a lot of really attractive, and easy 66 or 67 Lincolns, go for only $5-$10. Why? Because, it doesn&#039;t have a sticker on it telling someone what it&#039;s grade is. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong at all, have nothing against any of the TPGs, but I think people rely on them to much. If you learn to grade, and learn about a certain series, you can pick up some very bargain coins. The TPGs are great, especially for telling a coins authenticity, problems that might have been missed, etc. Takes basically a talent for things like that (IMO). </p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, I&#039;m done now. Just all my opinion, and open for any criticism (just don&#039;t be too harsh <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), and comments. Best of luck with your coin Bone, she is a very attractive lady. :thumb: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
