Dave, inclined to agree with you. I got my baptism of
fire on Large Cents. Now there is an area that really
needs cleaned up. These were not slabbed. Bob
Grellman did the attributions and grading on them and
most all were 20 points under their purported grade.
I have a bought a few colonials that were slabbed as
it seemed that they were either undervalued and being
ignored or people were away at shows. Most of them
were fairly close on grading, but a low grade Machins
turned out to be a Ctft Brit with a hugh die crack
through the spray. They have now all been liberated.
So yes, it will help some of the newbies get started.
However, my question is in regards to Your PSS.
Please define your definition of hardcore and
dabblers.
Thanks
Morris
