  Except cheap junk like ASCG and other crud like that.
  
  Collectors should know who to deal with and who not to deal with.

  I can appreciate the guarantee of authenticity from the top grading cos. and for the most part, the grades are dead on.
  
  I don't agree with marketing schemes like first strike, but it seems it is the consumers who want it. >>
  
  
  
  Wanna drink a bit more?? Get real. Slabs have made quite a few problems. I think they have been disscussed before.

  Geez Bruce, without slabs, you wouldn't be here. None of us would.

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  That depends upon how you define "dead."
  
  If the grades were as uncontroversial as you claim, the vast majority of collector coins would trade like orange juice and pork bellies. They don’t because there are enough slabs out there that are just “dead” to leave some profit margins for those who have grading skills.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
