[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 7997033, member: 46237"]You assume that grading has the same effect on coin value across the board, and that is clearly not the case. Some markets have come to accept graded coins to the point where the base value of the coin [I]assumes[/I] it is graded, and [I]raw[/I] coins are worth less, rather than graded coins being worth a premium. For example, I would argue this is the case with trade dollars, where it is not that people pay a premium for a slabbed example, but that a raw example is penalized on value because people assume it is details or of suspect authenticity. In other markets graded coins are looked at as an annoyance and they may actually decrease the appeal if not the value of the coin. Your questions are good, but the answer to all of them is probably "it depends" because you haven't specified what type of coins you're talking about. You'll get widely different answers from different people talking about completely different markets and they will all be correct.[/QUOTE]
