<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneyer12, post: 1362049, member: 28233&quot;]i have been grading my own coins for 48 years, and without wishing to sound boastful i am quite good at it, i go to auctions quite regularly in my country and have noted that the overwhelming majority of coins offered for sale are &quot;raw&quot;. at present i am having my own collection appraised for auction and the rough guide at present is that it will reach £1,000,000, that is mainly due to an exceptional collection of english civil war coinage including siege pieces which is regarded as one of the finest in private ownership. and not one of my coins are slabbed, so by your reckoning if i had paid someone probably with far less experience in grading to do the same job that i have done, and then had them all entombed in plastic then they would be worth more??.................................i think not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
