    I haven't heard of most of them these days. These garbage slabbers are starting to pop up like weeds now...

    What is a “licensed coin grader?” There is no such credentialing process to my knowledge and that immediately makes them look clueless and a bit sleazy to be honest.

    It's better to have them in a plastic slab than not. I'll reserve judgment until I see a group of coins certified by them.

    There are many numismatists who have been around for decades, it's a small world; the question is who's on board this one?

    Just treat coins in their slabs like raw coins and you'll do fine. ;)

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Yeah-I know. I wonder how many of those are still around. We still have new ones pop up from time to time even today.

    I think it means that each employee is required to have a driver's license, somebody has to make the post office run and pick up lunch every day.

    Would earning the Boy Scout merit badge for numismatics qualify as being licensed? There are some coin graders that need to be making license plates is my observation. As true now as it was in 2008.

    Bought the slab on EBAY, used a scanner and their kid's safety scissors to make the label, inserted a slow boat knockoff then relisted on EBAY for $50,000.

    do you think it is partly due to all the legal weed dispensaries now?

    @Ebeneezer ----- I broke out the coin it looks cleaned and very much AU53. Sad, looks good in the album.
