With coins that came from Numismatic Bureau tucked neatly in the plastic container,
Have these coins already been put through the full out inspection?
Does one need to do that, or as a general rule if just a quick view magnified ?
Thanks for help understanding

If you are not comfortable grading coins yourself, stay away from INB. Stick to PCGS, NGC and ANACS.

Sorry I was not specific about any coin in perticular
I recently got an old estate sale bunch of coins and there were about 200 coins purchased from nusmatoc and I was wondering if they were previously put under x-Ray and checked out prior to sending,or can errors be found in these coins?
Do they just Bag-em and Tag-em ...
Thanks for help I am just starting and will probably trip over my shoestrings several times

Well unfortunately, if you purchased 200 International Numismatic Bureau coins, there's a good chance you paid way too much. In my experience most are overgraded, plus you'll find plenty of cleaned and damaged coins with no mention of it on the slab.

Fortunately they were thrown in worth the batch of estate items so I was not out any extra...
There is some very clear coins I was courious as to how much to check for errors on the coins closely or are these ones they cherry picked
Thank you @bobby131313

INB is a "basement slabber", just some guy who puts coins in generic slab shells and then they get marketed to unaray people. they should be considered/treated like raw coins and no attention paid to grades or any varieties assigned. Obvius varieties have probably been culled out, but there is the potential for less obvious varietes to still be present.

Thank you for help @conder101
I am glad to hear and know that there is potential that something was missed
I did not directly purchase so it is nice to give these a search , however the original owner new is collection pretty well, he has passed and we are learning as we go.
