<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 7670622, member: 116145&quot;]I have lower end and details coined slabbed if I&#039;m curious about them - the only TPG I&#039;ve used is ICG, I&#039;m a collector in search of knowledge, not a dealer or worried about selling, so I&#039;d say the decision on whether to slab and by whom depends on why you would want to do it.&nbsp; ICG is affordable and tough but fair in my experience, they offer a Cointalk member discount of $10 per coin (plus shipping both ways and insurance) so it&#039;s more cost effective with 10 or 20 coins.&nbsp; For example, in my latest submission, in addition to SLQs (me and my son collect those), among other whimsical pieces I submitted a 1946 copper 1 Franc, Belgian Congo, because I like the elephant - it came back AU58 Details, KM#26, I paid $5 for it, and another was a 1964 25 Schilling, Silver, that came back PR65, Cameo, KM#2895.2,Obv.Error for which I paid $12.50,If you are curious about resale value of course you&#039;re best off going with PCGS but that&#039;s pricey and you have to join the organization.&nbsp; Thank you for sharing, in any case.&nbsp; Here are pics of those 2 coins before they were sent in - [ATTACH=full]1317982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1317983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1317985[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1317986[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
