<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1256297, member: 10103"]Many times I've been at a dealers table, and picked up a slab with a high ms# and apply the loupe and remark to myself, "no way". Then I look closer at the slab and see that it's one of the "basement" varieties. YOU, are the person in charge.....YOU make the final determination. If the coin doesn't cut it with respect to the grade, pass it up. That's why knowing how to grade is so essential for anyone who wants to participate in this hobby. </p><p><br /></p><p>As to the general public? Let the buyer beware.....and hopefully they've done their homework, but if they haven't Owle, then there's nothing you can do to save them. They have to own up to a certain responsibility related to themselves, and if they're not equal to that task, they will be burned. Can't save the world dear fellow.
