...don't you really have to slab those swizzle sticks? I mean, they break so easily.

Just last week I sent a beautiful Arizona Charlie's East swizzle stick (no hanging chads!) to be graded and encapsulated. It came back with an XF-80. I was so infuriated that I took a hacksaw to the damned thing. I'm gonna get that sucker re-graded until I get at least an MS-90. I'd wanted to sell it for $20.02, (assuring myself a tidy profit of 2 cents)... now it's gonna get very expensive for someone.

That's it. I've said my piece.
