<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2559524, member: 77413&quot;][USER=78261]@Earle42[/USER] you make many great points here. I&#039;ll just add two minor things...</p><p><br /></p><p>1. For a popular key like 1909S VBD, the population profiles are also skewed by resubmissions, because the financial reward of grading just one point higher is much more than the regrading cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I realize your discussion about slabbing is aimed at the marketplace as a whole, and not at me. But it raises a good point. I do have several coin dealers I can drive to, but not everyone does. Even so, there is only so much they can stock. I have about all Lincolns in MS, and only six are in slabs. So while raw is my preference, sometimes you just have to resort to online buying in a slab. In this case I pored over the pictures and called the dealer with specific questions about color and luster. Sometimes you have to make the best of all available resources if that&#039;s the only way to get what you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
