Low ball grading?

David Hall must be laughing every time he sees someone submit Poor coins for grading.
I never would have thought serious collectors would fall into a lowest grade coin game.
Are people finding way to wear-out their coins artificially like putting them in rock polishers?

    Why not? "Serious" collectors collect all sorts of things.

    Serious collectors need some corporate entity to bless their collecting interests? I'm not sure I agree as to just who it is that is slabbing low-grade coins.

    Collectors should have fun collecting and if that means collecting the lowest possible graded coin, so be it. To each her own!

    He's laughing all the way to the bank!

    ....I have to admit, I think the low-ball game is pretty cool, and especially good for collectors with small wallets.
