To slab or not to slab

I was hoping to get an idea of how many of you slabbers Will slab world coins or just U. S. Obviously with world you can find some pretty nice coins to slab but unlike U.S. with world you will have to find a buyer. For example I slabed a 1960-D. W. German mark I felt would go MS-63 and MS-63 it went. Nice looking coin book has it at 750.00 in that grade but I know to sell it I would have to find someone looking for it in that condition and most likely will not bring all the book value. I am going to tally the would against the would nots. Just think it would be helpful to know.

Get ready for this kind of reply..
Don't buy the slab, buy the coin.

 

It would be cool if you showed us the coin.
Do you have it?

 

Well I really don't do either what I do do.... oops! What I do is buy the collection and then try and decided what if any coins from that collection are worthy of a slab because I believe U.S. or world the coin has a better chance of resale if a " professional has given it a blessing

 

Yeah I could do that stand by...

 

It's understandable. But some collectors care less for slabs. I love slabs. But I ony do it to attribute my mint errors. I don't worry much about value.
Except a normal 1996 W Dime I sent in once.

 

on

 

I promise better pics on Monday

 

I probably didn't upload it in the right spot but it's on

 

Wow I have a really decent MS count but I wondered what constitutes a 67 thanks for showing me

 

So do you see it ? Better pics on Monday I promise new camera I pumped 16 pixels

 

So Lisa do you slab and if so just U S or world as well?

 

Hey paddyman98 I really need to figure out a coin but I don't want to post about it again is there a way I can get your opinion or feedback about it in a more private venue it is very important to me and I am out of ideas

 

Who is lisa?

 

I mean you may not even be able to help and I may end up disappointed with my bubble burst do you know you can't say Bubble meanly ... anyway I don't understand

 

Did you just respond to yourself?

Also, most world coin collectors do not care about the coins being slabbed. We all have so many that slabbing them is impossible. I hate to say this, but I'll be surprised if you get over $75 for your 1960-D Mark. There are still plenty out there in low MS, and it's not a key date/MM.

 

There is a very good chance I did respond to myself cause I usually don't no what the heck I am doing. I am like a blogger run amok

 

It all depends on what you expect to get from slabbing it:
* Authentication
* Protect the coin
* Grade confirmation
* Marketability

If you are looking at marketability, you need to determine:
* Does the market for this coin want slabbed items – If you have a 1909-SVDB, then slabbing is important. Do potential customers of world coins want them slabbed?
* Will you get a payback on your fees when selling the coin graded vs raw?

 

Yeah but a professional" put his blessing on this one and besides that was just an example the question I posted could stand for any world coin I mean pick any. One more important.

 

I would think that if you are gonna sell a world coin having it slabbed should help
