<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 1742983, member: 19456&quot;]Hi Lehigh, sorry I just saw this now. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You are probably right...by the time I started collecting, sad to say only in 2008, grading was THE standard. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Was it really as bad as you say it was? If so, then I could certainly understand why people would like it! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BUT, does it REALLY take out the subjectivity? If that was the case, there would be no need for, and no one would want the services of a company like CAC, to verify that grades are correct, or even to try and regrade a coin to get a higher grade. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And, if that was also the case, wouldn&#039;t the phrase &quot;Buy the Coin, Not the Holder&quot; never have existed? Because if the grading was the be-all, end all, then you wouldn&#039;t need to worry about buying the coin, as you could just see the number grade and know, automatically, that it is something you would want, or not. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Unless, of cource, that is what you mean by the system not being perfect. In which case, I would say then I just don&#039;t know much of what I am talking about, which wouldn&#039;t be the first time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have to wonder, if some OR all of the grading companies purposefully bodybag, or undergrade a coin in the hopes that the person will send it in again, so they get the fees more then once. I have not handled enough graded coins to know if that is the case, but I think that would be pretty low if it was going on![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
