<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1430436, member: 9167&quot;]I&#039;m not a slab guy. I&#039;ll buy one if I need the coin inside, but the ugly plastic junk always sees the trash at day&#039;s end. I suppose they might serve a purpose to some. They make great coasters. And to those who think they prevent environmental damage to your coins, you couldn&#039;t be more wrong. They are not air or water tight. I helped evaluate a collection of coins from a client who was a heavy smoker. The slabbed coins contained just as much smoke and nicotine damage as the raw ones. As a side thought, what exactly is it that makes a TPG&#039;s graders &quot;professionals&quot;? There is no industry standard making one a professional in the field. So they&#039;ve looked at thousands of coins...so have many of us. Using the same requirements as the trusted graders to be deemed a pro, I should easily make the title of professional couch potato. Wonder how much I can charge you for the privilage of my professionalism? </p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
