You could trust the graded coins to be problem free.&nbsp; Then they started letting early coins with cleaning or minor problems into slabs, then some cleaned later date items, eventually they agreed to put obvious problem coins in &quot;genuine&quot; slabs with no grades, then they started giving them detail grades, and now have we reached the point where problem coins are being put in straight grade holders &quot;Because the collector can obviously see it has a problem&quot;?&nbsp; If so we may have come full circle where the grade applied doesn&#039;t matter and you will have to look at the coin and be able to grade to determine prices.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
