<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 1963406, member: 7638&quot;]It is a fact that top quality coins reside in so called &quot;second tier&quot; slabs.&nbsp; It is also a fact that when those coins are offered for sale, in general, they will sell at a big discount to coins of the same grade in 1st tier plastic. The exceptions would be when those top quality coins are offered to the small group of dealers and collectors who actually know how to grade and appreciate original surfaces, and who are honest enough to appreciate the coin for what it is and pay appropriately.&nbsp; Most of them, upon purchasing such coins, will use the end-cut pliers and submit them to a 1st tier grading service.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, of course many of us will &quot;never&quot; sell our coins.Bear in mind,&nbsp; At some point, we may have a financial crisis, or die and leave them to our heirs who have no interest in them.&nbsp;&nbsp; When those coins in SEGS or ICG or ANACS slabs are taken to a dealer, in most cases they will offer bottom feeder money. If you doubt this, take your PQ coins in 2nd tier slabs around to various dealers at a major show and see what they offer compared to PCGS or NGC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
