<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7782972, member: 118780&quot;]As I already mentioned, there are numerous solutions to keep coins safe from dropping and sticky stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Others with more experience correct me if this isn&#039;t true, but my understanding is auction houses <i>won&#039;t</i> authenticate an NGC slabbed coin further than verifying the NGC cert. How can they? The coin is behind a slab, so checking edges or using an XRF scanner is impossible. That&#039;s why I mentioned that NGC is a potential security hole, because once you fool them then there&#039;s automatic trust. This isn&#039;t the case for unslabbed - each time it comes up at auction it&#039;s reevaluated.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>By all means continue sticking to slabbed coins. Just stop providing false reasons for doing so, then arguing with other highly experienced members here (of which I&#039;m not a member), who point out your fallacies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I wouldn&#039;t use Heritage as a glowing example of a highly reputable auction house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
