[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1824088, member: 112"]There are plastic buyers out there, both collectors and dealers; and there are coin buyers out there, both collectors and dealers. But experienced collectors and dealers alike will ignore the slab, regardless of whose slab it is, and yes that includes NGC and PCGS, and base their decisions on the coin itself and their own knowledge. If you are smart you ignore the grade on the slab, you ignore the name on the slab, you ignore the slab completely and only pay attention to the coin inside it. You can find harshly cleaned and problem coins in NGC and PCGS slabs. You can find over-graded coins in NGC and PCGS slabs. And you can find coins that are labeled as problem coins in NGC and PCGS slabs that should be in problem free slabs. The TPGs are not infallible - none of them ! And to trust them as if they are is a mistake. One you should not make.[/QUOTE]
