<p>[QUOTE=&quot;louielot, post: 795977, member: 22027&quot;]If you are a new collector than buy graded coins from NGC or PCGS, especially if you are collecting older coins. Some people will disagree with what I say, but I stand by it. Slabs offer a sense of protection to newer collectors, and even some of the older ones. When you buy a coin in a slab from NGC or PCGS, you know you have a legit coin that if pretty darn close to the grade it says on the label. Graded coins are easier to sell and&nbsp; you will have a lot less of a chance of getting ripped off.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>BUT . . . . . . . </b> always remember to &quot;buy the coin not the slab&quot;, meaning buy a coin you like in a slab versus buying what is written on the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>There have been many threads on this topic so search them to get other opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>LouieLot[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
