<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stevereecy, post: 4831118, member: 19884&quot;]Depending on lighting I can make a coin look different grades in photographs and I do most of my purchases online. I don’t want to be limited to coins that I can physically inspect myself.&nbsp; I don’t want to be the guy who is constantly returning coins from eBay sales and I don’t have time for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Secondly, it’s amazing how just the smallest interruption of luster in one spot can make the difference between a gem and AU58.&nbsp; And it becomes even more challenging when the coins might not be fully struck, but then again you need a full strike for a gem so that’s&nbsp; not the best example.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For what it’s worth I’m a fair grader. But I do find comfort in the fact that my wife and kids will easily be able to determine exactly what I have in my collection if something ever happens to me. And I really like the presentation of slabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are world collectors mostly anti-slab?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
