[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 6315703, member: 73489"]Because if the label and the professional both say that a coin is an MS65 and I think it's an MS63, I'm not going to be able to convince the dealer to sell it to me at MS63 prices. :D A choice and constraining elements. But again.....not EVERYBODY can be a great grader. Right now, I'd say I'm at the OK-level. People want to buy coins NOW and not years down the road when they graduate from OK-level to Good or Great-level. :D You're a very good grader, you'd probably be within +/-1 of any official grade. But many would not be. Or even buying....in the examples above, if I determine and/or others coroborate that the coins are very close to one another...it'd be kind of dumb to NOT pay the same $$$ for the CAC coins. Sure, same thing with an OGH or CAC when the coin is between inflection points. Yup, one reason aside from Saints I would never consider buying a raw coin. Too many things to know about other coins where I am NOT an expert that can go wrong. I enjoyed this back-and-forth. :D [B][I] What are your impressions on the 3 MS66 Wells Fargo NM's I posted above ? [/I][/B] No rush, but would be interested in your thoughts.[/QUOTE]
