coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 2:04 pm I was showing how, big the gap is between the one grade and the prices were so far apart. What differences does this make. Well if it costs more for grading than the coin is worth, what is the point of having them graded. Many collectors will have them submitted thinking they have a high grade coin, when they are not worth sending them in at all. Some new collectors feel even circulated coins are something that must be sent in and graded. Where are they getting these ideas. Someone must be put these ideas out on the net? We get that question asked here a lot, by new forum members. The fact is that it is just certain coins are the high dollar coins. The rest are just collectable coins/album coins and lastly spendable coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/03/2020 7:03 pm One reason the early coins are/were rare in top grade was because back then grading was only a MINOR thing. The services might only get 20,000 coins or less per month, and the ASE's were looked upon as just bullion not really a collectible coin. Also the Mint was not trying to strike them to high quality standards. The ASE was just a way to sell off the strategic stockpile of silver. The idea of searching and slabbing them for high grades didn't really come along for several years, by which time a great many of the top quality coins had been mishandled. I think most of the 70's we see today on the early years are quite possibly the result of relaxed standards more recently because the market is demanding 70's. Report this Post to the Staff
