He is just one Brit, so hardly a representative sample, despite our love and admiration...every other collector I've talked with from the UK abhors slabs and can't understand why we are constantly overgrading our coins (by this I mean they have like four grades there, good, fine, very fine and unc. and our XF might only rate their fine).

Do you know why Uk collectors hate slabs ?

 

its because they call the coins VF when they are selling them and F when they are buying them.. and they are scaird of having to pay the "real" value of a coin.. to say all UK dealers are unscrupules is a genralisation about 90% of the ones i have dealt with want the full wack for the coins and your gold teeth as well lol

 

Just look at the philip and mary i have posted on the world coin bit took it to a dealer in newcastle and he said it was in F (fine) condition £90 when its in EF (extremley fine) condition for this type £300.. by the way he offered £50.. so if it was graded we would all know its real value and he could not make such a large profit..

 

you should also see some of the grade discriptions you see in UK auction cattologs things like about extremley fine/almost extremley fine/near extremely fine F to VF ect.. Why cannot they catch up and call it EF-40 and cut out all the BS..
