<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 7622840, member: 96746&quot;]So you have a lot of coins that managed to live quite happily in their original condition for a couple hundred years or more, but put them in a slab and suddenly the condition is apparently liable to change. Is the coin liable to be genuinely degraded, in which case why are NGC using the materials they do to entomb them? Or is it a case of milking the need for reassurance that the coin is a given grade? Or is it a get out clause to cover the tendency to give variable grades on resubmission? It is after all, just a person&#039;s view on the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s no different to telling a car owner they need to have their car serviced annually by the dealer stipulated by the manufacturer.</p><p><br /></p><p>When someone complained that the grade on the label (MS65) of a coin I was selling was out of date, I just gave him the option to buy the coin rather than the label (which i was willing to include for free).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
