I was wondering what happened to this thread. I guess I had it in the wrong forum. Anyway, I just want to say, a guy like that can be said to "appreciate" art, sure. But, let's face it, so can any ignoramus. I guess what I'm trying to get at is, one's ability to appreciate something is directly correlated with one's level of knowledge in relationship to the thing, isn't that right? At a crude or base level of knowledge, sure, anybody can be said to appreciate anything, I totally agree with that. Report this Post to the Staff
Ca Dreamin Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/17/2011 2:16 pm I'm preety much on the same page as Carl-I think there is way too much emphasis on the slab-can it "enhance" the coin-obviously the marketplace thinks so-especially PCGS in general-if you're going to sell your coins online-I think it makes some sense especially if the value is 500 or more. I haven't sent any of my coins in to TPG's yet- I might with some of the keys, especially the 09s-vdb,14-d Lincoln, and 16-d Merc since they are some of the most common ones altered/counterfeited. As an aside, I wouldn't buy any of those keys online if it wasn't from a reputable dealer, with a ironclad return policy, at any price. Report this Post to the Staff
