[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1894457, member: 5233"]I agree...but I have seen some interpretations of that statement that mean the holder has no value and I completely disagree with that. Also, in the world of online sales...when you can't view the coin in hand the slabs are a very nice safety net. Also, there is a certain learning curve when learning to grade coins. Someone is who is new or lacks that skill set is safer when buying slabbed coins (especially expensive examples). I am a firm believer in evaluating the coin and deciding yourself what the grade should be and if the coin fits in your collection. We shouldn't blindly follow the TPGs...you are completely correct IMHO. But, there is a large group here who will say that the slabs have no value and purpose and I disagree with that belief. Like you...I am speaking only of PCGS or NGC.[/QUOTE]
