<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 3157313, member: 56869&quot;]This has been my philosophy since the late 1970s. Other than some junk silver and some silver rolls (more junk silver), everything I own is in a slab. Most are certified by PCGS, but I have some NGCs as well, also ANACS. I did and do it for heirs, as they won&#039;t be interested in the coins as a collection. I also have everything certified b/c slabs offer the best long-term protection from the elements. As for what they charge, don&#039;t send anything in that isn&#039;t worth at least $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I initially got started with TPGs mainly for the authentication. I decided that anything that I paid at least $50 for (this was a long time ago, back when my first 1912-S nickel cost $50 and a 1913-S Barber quarter in Good cost less than $100) I would get authenticated by ANACS. This was before PCGS and NGC got started.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
