<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 838573, member: 22602&quot;]I buy the coin, not the slab, but I&#039;m glad it&#039;s encased in one. Slabs are convenient, they help protect the coin and, most important, they lessen the doubt of the next buyer. Plus, more and more high-end coins are being slabbed and soon not many raw versions will be available.</p><p><br /></p><p>I predict that, within five years or so, we will have a new grading company that assigns incremental grades, perhaps on a five-point scale. Gold (&quot;upgrade&quot;) stickers are few and far between and Green (&quot;strong&quot;) is no longer specific enough. With the vast difference in value between a 65 and 66, for example, in many series, buyers are going to want to know if a coin is a 65.2, a 65.4 or a 65.8 and some company is going to take advantage of this uncertainty. It might be CAC itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
