Norcal Jim Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 6:06 pm I have purchased some PCGS slabbed coins from ebay that seem to me to be over rated. I am no grading expert for sure. But when I compare a raw coin I sent in and it got MS 65 with some of the MS 66 I get on ebay it really makes me scratch my head. Should I send my MS 65 coins back in and hope for a better grade or is it just that over time the objectivity changes? I really don't want to waste the $ sending them back in if I will just get the same results. Edited by Forum Mom to move to TPG Forum from Classic US Coin Forum Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 08/02/2008 8:31 pm I have seen numerous slabs that the coins do not techniquely match the grade , this is especially true of PCGS when I check their criteria in their grading guide against the coins found in their slabs . This is one of the reason why it is so important to buy the coin not the slab .And the reason why I collect Raw coins ,,I refuse to pay for the plastic grade and someone elses opinion . The ones that irritate me the most are the Key dates that are obviously market graded in the slabs and elevated by 1 and sometimes 2 or more points . Report this Post to the Staff

I have seen in Coin World dealers that have a key date coin in a PCGS holder that has an identical grade but is $100-$200 more. The NGC coin just below it in the add, is $100-$200 less! Both are for the sake of conversation, AG03 1916-D Mercs. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
