<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2608191, member: 5233&quot;]See, I disagree with you...sort of.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, let me say that I completely agree that a slab should not increase the value of the <b>coin</b>.&nbsp; I also fully believe that someone who is buying coins needs to learn to grade for themselves and be able to evaluate a coin before spending a lot of money on them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, I completely believe there is value to a TPG slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is why.&nbsp; When a TPG evaluates a coin, they are giving a market accepted expert opinion on the grade of the coin.&nbsp; That evaluation has value.&nbsp; The verified coin is now more liquid as it has been evaluated by a market accepted expert.&nbsp; is the coin more valuable...of course not.&nbsp; But, the whole package of the coin with that expert evaluation is worth more than the coin alone.&nbsp; How much?&nbsp; That depends on the buyer and the coin.&nbsp; But in a world where a lot of buying and selling is done online with photos...that added non-bias expert evaluation and liquidity is worth something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
