[QUOTE="Aslanmia, post: 1043628, member: 11753"]In my opinion, it's all about the PCGS name and the cost of getting coins encapsulated. When you buy a raw coin on the Bay it's like gambling... you really don't know what you have until you get it, if it's been altered, or if it's a fake. People bid accordingly. With graded coins, even though they can be faked, for all intents and purposes you're guaranteed that the coin is what is says it is so people will bid higher and even factor in the cost of the grading itself into their bid.[/QUOTE]
