<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 322725, member: 5036"]slabs add value to a coin, if you're a sucker, a guarantee doesn't mean anything, and even the top graders have been known to slab fakes and misattribute coins in their holders. Not on purpose mind you, completely by accident, but do not consider a coin in a top tier tpg to be above reproach. The coin is the only thing I look at and the only thing I am willing to pay for. Have I let coins get away because of this, yes. But I am not willing to let others eyes do my work, and let my experience rest so they can tell me what they think the grade is and oh by the way the coin is now worth more since we put it in our plastic so shell out some extra dough for this coin, you know it is authentic. I can look up the diagnostics of certain coins and tell if it is a counterfeit or not. I can grade for myself. I can put my coins in a pvc free flip, or 2x2 or a nice Dansco shelf album. </p><p>And yes, I do own some slabbed coins, only because they came that way. Not because I wanted the slab, but because I wanted the coins. I didn't pay extra for them either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
