<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swhuck, post: 854671, member: 21044&quot;]I&#039;m going to vote yes, and this is why.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMO, any of these are valid reasons for getting a coin slabbed:</p><ol> <li>Profit potential -- if you think it&#039;s in a grade where slabbing will make you money in the long term. The difference in value between Fine and XF for a 1938-D half is small, so this doesn&#039;t apply in this case.</li> <li>Putting it into your registry set. A 1938-D in VF is not a registry level coin.</li> <li>If you&#039;re selling it now (and it has enough value to warrant it). This is a valid reason on this coin IMO -- at least on the one you plan to sell. Slabbing by a reputable service will make a coin much more liquid, and this is a valuable enough coin to warrant it. It does depend on how you want to sell it, however.</li> <li>Authentication. Far and away the most important consideration on this coin IMO. The 1938-D is one of the key dates in the series, at least in circulated grades, and this brings up the possibility that it might have an added mintmark or an altered date. If the coin is slabbed by a reputable service, you and any potential buyers will not have to worry about authenticity.</li> </ol><p>My 2 cent piece, Good 4, raw. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
