<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 358180, member: 4367&quot;]Many collectors, myself included simply keep their coins in 2x2 flips or in binders of some sort.&nbsp; We grade the majority of our coins ourselves if the need ever arises.&nbsp; A very self sufficient setup with no real requirement for outside intervention or vectoring except from whatever &#039;Grading Guide&#039; you may use for reference, be that ANA, RedBook, Coins -- magazine, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I&#039;m fully aware that my grades are probably not in line with what some of the TPGs would put on a slab, (up, down and sideways) one must also keep in mind that all TPGs grade differently, depending on what Grading Standard they are instructed to use.</p><p><br /></p><p>My simple question is this.&nbsp; If you consider yourself a self-grader do you bother to mark the flip or whatever with the grade you think the coin is or do you simply identify the date, variety and any other unique attributes the coin has and move on to the next one...? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
