<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 195243, member: 7248&quot;]i am not trying to be argumentative for slabs one way or another. i am looking at this from a different perspective than some. when i got away from the hobby in early 90&#039;s there really weren&#039;t slabbed coins, yet somehow, auction companies and coin dealers still&nbsp; bought and sold. collectors collected, ....and still&nbsp; different perceptions on coins grade, cleaned or not, ect. i find myself drawn back into the hobby&nbsp; after maybe 15 yrs and now even tho most everything is slabbed, i still hear the same perceptions voiced about a given coin. ex..&quot;they slabbed it but its obviously cleaned...or its dipped..or its fake tone or its undergraded, or its overgraded&quot; i simply find it absolutely fascinating. grading still remains subjective and&nbsp; in the eye of the beholder. i know a point or 2 isn&#039;t much, but it is when they are talking thousands of dollars difference in a grade.&nbsp; what i find really odd is the 1881-S ms 63 morgan example. it seems that paying so much to slab an inexpensive coin would deter people, but they are everywhere. i truly don&#039;t intend to be a jerk regarding this subject.&nbsp; i find the transition interesting. perhaps even someday....i will buy a raw coin on ebay!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
