<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1222899, member: 66"]Yes it might bring more money if it was graded......from someone who has no idea what he is looking at but has had it hammered into his head to only buy slabbed coins and that they are worth more than unslabbed coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>An error specialist who knows what he is looking at knows what this is and can most likely tell for himself that it is real. Since it is unique, if it is raw and worth $11K, why would the exact same coin be worth more if it was put inside a piece of plastic at the same grade as when it was raw? If you put it inside a piece of plastic but put a higher grade on it, does that make that exact same unique coin worth more? Is it worth less if the plastic has a lower grade for that exact same unique coin? It's no like you can go out and buy a better one instead. If it gets slabbed and then they send it in again and it gets a different grade why would that change the value of the coin? When you have a unique coin it's worth what it is worth and it shouldn't matter what grade I call it. In my opinion, the only reason a coin like this would be worth more because it was put in a piece of plastic would be because the person buying it DOESN'T know anything about what he is looking at and is using the magic plastic to justify throwing even more money at it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
