<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mqracing, post: 568957, member: 18190&quot;]I think your right... I call it &quot;fishing for 70&#039;s&quot;.&nbsp; I know a guy who&#039;ll buy 200 Lincoln proofs and send them out for grading.&nbsp; The 69&#039;s he tries to flip as quickly as he can--- even at the break even point (cost of coin plus grading)--- so he can recoup his money and buy more raw stock to &quot;fish for more 70&#039;s&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I kind of wish you could get coins just simply slabbed (no grading).&nbsp; The NGC holders are quite nice.&nbsp; Slabs are nice for stacking and much more space efficient than coins in the OGP.&nbsp; Plus the NGC holders will aid in preserving the finish on the coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So I don&#039;t think it is all bad.... and I&#039;ll scoop up 69&#039;s.... several times I have paid just what the mint was selling the coin for raw... the seller was happy to get more funds for new stock... and I got the benefits of the slab for no more money than if I bought straight from the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
