<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2523587, member: 76194&quot;]Well, if you ever want to sell it, you know that stabbing it will add $15,000 to the price. That&#039;s the magic of the plastic for investor minded modern collectors. My whole collection is probably worth $5000. LOL <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; However, if I were to pay $900 to have it all slabbed up, I have no doubt I could sell it for $12,000 to the slab lovers who are used to paying more for 1 point difference in grades than the same coin is worth 1 point lower.</p><p><br /></p><p>In that sense slabs have done wonders for investors. If you look at US red book prices from the 60s, all MS coins were worth the same as it was just MS, but now in the slab era MS has like 30 different prices as now it&#039;s MS-64, MS-64+, MS-64*, etc, so what before might have been an MS coin for $500 can now range in price from $500 to $5000, and the investor types are happy even if it sucks for the collectors who have to pay a lot more for the same coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
