<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 362880, member: 4367&quot;]As far a COLLECTORS go Professional Grading (IMO) is irrelevant and unneeded in most cases.&nbsp; The exception however, would be a series of example coins (open to the public), displaying the appropriate grade for the amount of wear on each of the example coin/s shown.&nbsp; Professionally assigned grades should simply a learning tool for those who seek the to know the difference without resorting to reading a guide which puts the picture to words, and we all know a picture is worth 1000 words.&nbsp; Either way you&#039;re immersing yourself in knowledge about the series and that in itself negates the need for the slab..:hammer::hammer::hammer:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When the collector turns into an investor or speculator, well that&#039;s when the problems usually occur.&nbsp; Just about the only folks who&#039;ve made BIG money are those who created the market for grading, not those who&#039;ve speculated in the graded items.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
