<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HawkeEye, post: 2726742, member: 86305&quot;]I view slabbed coins very differently than apparently many of those posting who are &#039;11s.&nbsp; Out of necessity I purchase many if not most coins over the internet.&nbsp; There are so many fakes out there that I view a slabbed coin as a form of defense against fakes.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t perfect because there are fake slabs, but I feel that there are a lot fewer faked slabs than faked coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been building a very large grading set and in my series everything above MS64 starts to escalate exponentially in price.&nbsp; Slabs offer a real defense above that level because in all likelihood I will only be able to purchase a single coin in those grades in my lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am less of a fan of the TPGs than this might sound, but I do think they offer a service that has value.&nbsp; Thanks for all the comments and for taking time to read the article.&nbsp; It has sparked some good debate if nothing else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
