<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 236152, member: 3011&quot;]Here is a counter-argument.&nbsp; I plan to leave many of the coins I&#039;ve collected to my kids, who are not collectors.&nbsp; Having coins slabbed increases the chance they will be able to obtain close to fair value for them when they are sold.&nbsp; I would never intentionally buy a coin in a slab that I believe was overgraded, but that isn&#039;t the biggest threat.&nbsp; If I buy a coin I think is MS65 in an MS63 slab, it will probably be sold someday as MS63.&nbsp; If I crack it out and my kids sell it raw, it might be sold as MS62 or even AU58 to a less-than-honest dealer.&nbsp; If I buy an MS63 in a slab that is graded MS64, it just might sell as MS64, and even if it is sold as an overgraded MS63, my kids will still come out okay.</p><p><br /></p><p>So slabs from top grading companies have their merits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
