<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 3058500, member: 88212"]Most large lots that are sold are impaired in some way with scratching, toning, weak strikes, etc being the most common drawbacks. If you bought those coins individually and selected each one for quality they may have nothing wrong with them. Spending $30 to grade and slab a $35 coin (if you are right and lucky) makes no sense. Slabbing a coin worth $100 might make sense if you know of a buyer at that price. There is a major difference between price guide prices and real world auction prices. It's very easy to go over board gathering errors and varieties only to learn that you have no way to monetize them. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
