<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2180393, member: 71510&quot;]When I first got into collecting, the slab meant one thing - that a professional had guaranteed it was authentic - especially with gold coins.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had a few fake pennies and a few fake foreign silver coins (ok, well silver colored) come through my hands.&nbsp; Some are obvious, some are less obvious.&nbsp; Getting an authentic coin with an image that matches to the coin gives me a warm fuzzy that it&#039;s authentic.&nbsp; I&#039;ve cracked a couple out (damaged at least one doing it) just to do a bit more detailed looking and feeling.</p><p><br /></p><p>But come on, don&#039;t knock the slab...&nbsp; To each their own!!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
