<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 25239405, member: 4920"]The vast vast bulk of my collection is ungraded, some nearly 99.99%. How do you explain that, I've been collecting junk for some 60 years? I explain it by I learned how to grade and don't need ready-made grades like most younger collectors who never learned how to grade do these days. And then what do you think happens as these ungraded collections are inherited? Most of them hit the market where they circulate, eventually, and we find them. And none of them were "messed with," because we knew how to collect coins, then, unlike, now, when most of us still don't know how to grade them, but rather, how to collect ready-made third-party grades. And the hobby loses a component for it, appreciation, because how can one appreciate a coin's grade when one can't even grade them, oneself? All one can appreciate is a number. So, I disagree with you. Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
