<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1473974, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s quite simple really. What people should do is to completely ignore the slab when buying a coin - that goes for all slabs - with one exception. The exception being if you are concerned about the coin being authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look, you see a coin in an ACG, NTC, SGS, new ANACS, new ICG - you name it - slab. It doesn&#039;t matter what the slab says the grade is. Grade the coin yourself, and if the asking price is commensurate with the grade you assign and you want the coin, then that coin is a good buy for you. It&#039;s no different than buying a raw coin. In fact, even coins in NGC and PCGS slabs should be treated as if you were buying a raw coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is what buy the coin and not the slab means.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, if you are looking at a coin of some rarity or considerable value and you cannot verify authenticity yourself - then the slab matters. Then you should only buy coins in slabs from companies you trust to be correct, and guarantee, the authenticity of that coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
