<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 455117, member: 15309&quot;]We have all heard the adage &quot;Buy the coin not the slab.&quot;&nbsp; However, the people who are bidding on this E-Bay auction apparently did not get the memo.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26rd%3D1%26item%3D290272846934%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWA%3AIT%26ih%3D019" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26rd%3D1%26item%3D290272846934%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWA%3AIT%26ih%3D019" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1&amp;item=290272846934&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&amp;ih=019</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They are bidding on a 1923 Peace Dollar that is graded MS60 in an NGC sample slab.&nbsp; The seller states that the coin is undergraded by two points which would bring it to MS62.&nbsp; Forget the fact that it looks properly graded IMO, a 1923 Peace Dollar NGC MS62 is a $25 coin.&nbsp; They have bid this coin up to $70.</p><p><br /></p><p>What in the world is going on here!&nbsp; No way is this coin worth that much money.&nbsp; Is there some kind of market for collecting unusual slabs? If there is such a market, they should create their own club and use the motto &quot;buy the plastic not the coin.&quot;&nbsp; These people are going to pay 3X wholesale for a sample slab!&nbsp; And people give me the business for paying premiums for rainbow toning.&nbsp; Just unbelievable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
