<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 2407604, member: 76965&quot;]No I&#039;m not in the US but I have started buying a lot of my British coins from the US simply because they are cheaper in the US and are mostly graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct in saying UK market has fewer graded coins. But I think the reason is a) The scarcity of local graders, CGS only recently started there and b) The high cost of grading in the UK. By contrast, the US has been grading and stabbing coins for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>I prefer slabbed coins coz it prevents handling and environmental damage and also it&#039;s a guarantee of what one is buying. Specially with proof coins you can loose several grades and $$$ due to mishandling.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you collect interesting coins from other countries as well? If so, why not post some on this site.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
