The money you pay you join the TPG, and the money you pay to have a coin graded, all that does is increase or raise the cost you paid for the coin.

It doesn&#039;t have anything to do with the plastic wrapped around it. The only thing the plastic slab does for you is it makes it easier to sell the coin because there are so many people out there who know nothing about coins - but they trust the slab so they&#039;ll buy them. Which of course is a huge mistake to begin with ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
