<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 220173, member: 4552&quot;]I feel that almost any coin valued over $500 should be authenticated so buying one such slabbed is worth the price.</p><p>Another thing is I&#039;m not good at grading so if it is an expensive coin I&#039;d like to know what an expert thinks. </p><p>One dealer I know showed me a Merc 1916D that I would have sworn was real. He got burned by it. He sent it in for grading and it came back as a fake.&nbsp; </p><p>Another thing is I&#039;ve seen many coins in slabs that I would not pay extra for just because some idiot had it slabbed. Examples are common coins such a 1997 Jefferson Nickel, P mint, MS60. I&#039;ve seen many of such coins and usually a dealer will tell me he bought them like that and will only charge me for the actual coin, not the stupid slabbed price.</p><p>I normally don&#039;t buy slabbed coins but for ones that are expensive, I do and then break them out for my sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
