<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 92471, member: 2100&quot;]Hi Ben, </p><p><br /></p><p>It depends what you wish to do with the token. If you are going to keep it, I would not bother to have it slabbed. Personally, I break out any of my tokens if they are slabbed. If you have read many of my posts, it becomes evident that I am not overly fond of tpgs. While I think that the tpg concept is basically a good one, the way they have gone about their business practices has left me greatly disappointed. I am a collector only, although I do trade a little. Since you are buying some tokens, I assume you are also collecting. If your intent is to sell this token, then you would likely realize a higher final price if it were slabbed. The tpg of choice for cwts seems to be NGC. I&#039;m not sure if any of the others even slab cwts. Anacs may, but I have never checked into who will.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kanzinger instituted a &quot;town rarity&quot; scale, similar to the rarity number assigned to each individual token. The scale goes from 1 (common) to 10 (unique). There are no T-10 towns. Belmont, Ohio is a T-9 town. There are 14 towns in this group, 4 from Ohio. Only 8 towns are tougher, with T-9+ ratings. There are 400 total issueing towns for cwts. No one, not even the Fulds (who owned over 500,000 cwts), has ever assembled a complete &quot;town&quot; collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kanzinger describes a T-9 town as extremely rare. Some towns have not been offered for sale pulbicly for years. Makes up less than one tenth of 1 per cent of total market population. Prices start at $1000 and some towns will exceed $10,000. Speculative pricing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
