<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Two Dogs, post: 8206781, member: 85671&quot;]Good reply!&nbsp; For some, sending out a coin to get graded is about establishing a value for the coin once a third party has authenticated and assigned a grade. If you are doing commerce via a website or e-Bay, having a coin in a slab makes it easier to sell and to justify a price.&nbsp;&nbsp; For others, it&#039;s about getting it protected in a slab that will fit in with other slabbed coins in their collection. I only send out coins for grading when their value is well over $200.&nbsp; I prefer to buy coins that are already slabbed, letting someone else suffer the expenses of getting that coin graded.&nbsp; Let&#039;s say that a graded/slabbed coin will result in a 10 or 15% increase in its perceived value.&nbsp; To justify the expense of grading, it really doesn&#039;t make sense to send out a coin that&#039;s worth less than $400.</p><p>However I know a collector or two that justify the fees so that all their coins will look uniform when they line them up in their coin case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
