Is It Graded
Correctly
? -
Most buyers trust the grading services, but what about coins and notes that aren't certified? I've been in the coin and paper money business since 1973 and have cataloged numismatic material for major auction companies such as Stack's-Bowers, Spink, and R. M. Smythe & Company, but perhaps the best way to feel confident in my grading is to look at my eBay feedback (
