<p>[QUOTE="Prez2, post: 3720803, member: 93969"]Many fake slabs? It's easy enough to verify a slab. 70's don't exactly run plentiful and I'd think one would certainly very carefully verify something being represented as a 70 which as you note, the premium would be astronomical. I'm more talking about general more common grades anyway. There are always exceptions but I'll take a slab versus the came coin unverified every time. The premium would have to be really, really outrageously lower for me to consider different. Take this forum for example. Most often, coins that folks ask about or show pics of are blasted by others as to grade and value. Somebody somewhere will find something wrong with raw coins versus a slab more often than not. Slabs generally are accepted as to what is represented. I'm just trying to say that a slab denotes authenticity and constitutes more confidence than a raw ever could. Give me two coins of the exact same grade and I'll select the slab every single time. You can't say that with raw. Again GENERALLY, slabs are always sold for more. After all, authenticity is what is guaranteed and that's the whole purpose of grading services to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
