[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 26905, member: 705"]I don't know if y'all will agree with me, but I think it might be useful to use a lower cost grading services (like ANACS) for coins that you get at a good price and then later they go up--you might want to slab them to keep them from getting damaged. I got a 1892-P Barber Half in F-12 for $2.00. To me that would be a good one to slab just because it's worth more then what I paid and so it won't be damaged. One more thing....what about using grading services to help learn how to grade the MS grades?? I'm doing a set of proof franklins 1950-1963 all in PF-66. Since I'm not sure of myself when grading proofs I will only buy the coins slabbed. (so far I have almost a complete set from 1956-1963...so have cameo and are higher grade then PF-66) Just some thoughts.... Speedy[/QUOTE]
