<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 793544, member: 4626&quot;]Not trying to derail the thread or anything, but to be clear, I never questioned the value of <i>authentication</i> when it comes to coins or banknotes where it might be questionable (especially for something of high value if genuine and routinely faked).&nbsp; In such cases I don&#039;t deny the value of expert analysis (something is either real or it isn&#039;t; that&#039;s a matter of fact, not opinion, and thus isn&#039;t subjective).&nbsp; I would never buy a raw trade dollar for example, because they&#039;re faked way too often.&nbsp; What I think is a waste of money is paying someone for <i>grading</i>, which is purely a matter of subjective opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
