<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 356439, member: 12965&quot;]Let&#039;s look at YOUR WORDS:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>&quot;If, from those books or by other means, a person can determine that a coin is genuine and has a decent grasp of grading, the concern about the holder it is encapsulated in becomes far less significant.&quot;</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, with the words you used, the correct order in determining whether a slabbed coin is fake is to examine a coin you can&#039;t even touch then when you think it&#039;s authentic, examine the slab? What kind of order is that? Once you think the coin is authentic, you won&#039;t be concerned about the slab because who slabs an authentic high-dollar coin in a counterfeited slab?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would think (aka: IMO) the opposite order would work better with a slabbed coin. Determine if the slab is authentic first (specifically major grading company like NCS/NGC/PCGS - like the OP coin in question), then the coin&#039;s authenticity &quot;becomes far less significant&quot; (partially quoting you).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
