[QUOTE="silvermonger, post: 1306757, member: 12490"][b]cost to slab?[/b] We are all aware of the significant cost to send a coin and have it returned in a shiny new slab. It better be a $100 min coin before paying the fee to slab or you are just digging a hole. Now what I wonder is the seemingly huge number of slabbed coins that sell for under $10? For instance I have a few Ikes that are nice but I have no idea why someone would have slabbed them. Did the original owner pay the $30-$40 cost to slab or did they get a discount like the TV shows or big auction houses get? Maybe the huge number of PF69s mean they send in a roll hoping to get a few PF70s? I still dont see how there could be a profit i the end for them even with the absurd overprice for a 70. Not to mention the percentage of coins that are less than 69 and so get no slab but are returned to owner to be thrown in a roll and ebayed. Heres an example of a $-10 coin that would represent a $30min loss to you or I yet this seller seems ok with the price.
