merlin New Member Canada 17 Posts	Posted 11/04/2012 9:15 pm As everybody said, buy the coin and not the certificate. I went friday to Nuphilex and viewing all those certified coins, I asked my self what are the proportion of coins graded exactly vs those who are off (both ways). For my personal view, I don't think I will have the chance to take a look of a large population of coins of the same year/denomination. Everybody can miss something. So, this was the question that came in my mind last friday at nuphilex in relation with the quantity of coins they had the chance to grade. Report this Post to the Staff
