<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 653603, member: 4920&quot;]I wholeheartedly connect with you on that, Mike...FWIW. But, that&#039;s about the only utility I really see. If you think about it, further, these green beans are, in one word, <i>endorsements </i>...endorsements the coins are, well, &quot;good for the grade.&quot; That&#039;s all. The harder question, though, as I see it, is, &quot;Will they tip the scales, so to speak, in negotiations between sellers and buyers?&quot; I don&#039;t think they will, nor should, influence what, I&#039;ll refer to, simply, as, &quot;astute buyers.&quot; But, I can&#039;t honestly say the same thing for, well, I&#039;ll be diplomatic, now, &quot;less than astute buyers.&quot; And, therein, IMHO, lies the rub. In fact, I&#039;ll go as far as to say, &quot;pedigree,&quot; when you get right down to it, is in the very same boat...it&#039;s an endorsement, too. And, let&#039;s face it, for better or for worse, there&#039;s a segment of the market out there that pays some serious attention to such things when evaluating (notice I&#039;m hesitant to call that aspect, &quot;grading&quot;) and pricing coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
