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.

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.
