1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.
2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.
3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.
4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.
5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.
6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.
7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Re: Graded Coins
I generally agree with what Daniel said in his video. Heading companies are a crisp shoot. If you want to increase the value of a coin, you pays your money and you takes your chances.
As a buyer though, it is nice to know a coin is authentic and has a grade that is generally correct. I'm willing to pay a bit of a premium for such a service especially with all the online shysters in cyberspace.

Re: Graded Coins
I tend to see the situation as there being two hobbies. Some people collect the coins. Some people collect the coins+slab+label. As long as people understand exactly what you sated about the grade being generally correct, then they will be able to make smarter decisions.
Since a hobby is about what people ENJOY - there is no right or wrong about it. Education is always the key to collector success.
