<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1699336, member: 33176"]It is often truly said "Buy the coin, not the slab". That is really true. Now, that being said, ANACS and PCG are usually considered the best TPG (third-party graders) with ANACS trusted by a lot of people too. What we are talking about are coins sealed in plastic slabs and given grades by some respected (some more than others) grading services. This was an effort to make coin collecting more of a stockmaret clone where you could buy and sell an MS66 coin sight unseen simply on the grading company's say-so. These slabs are in general more expensive than a comprable "raw" coin you can buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
