<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1356557, member: 22004&quot;]There are many good reasons to get a coin certified. One of the purposes was to counter the over-hyped and frankly dishonest trends of certain types of dealers who claim their coins are much better than they actually are. But this has not put them out of business, just driven them into other areas with different methods. They can still say that a &quot;former PCGS/NGC grader&quot; called a coin MS64, when the piece would never get into an MS holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>By only buying certified coins, you are at least prevented from getting stuck with problematic coins as long as you pay a reasonable price for the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
