<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gc1111, post: 155847, member: 4142&quot;]Seems to me that slabbing (I assume you associate a professional grade with slabbing) serves a couple of purposes. One it protects the coin, but there are lots of ways to do that. </p><p>The slab guarantees (or should if done right) that the coin in it is the coin that was graded. The important thing is the grade that lets you buy coins you can&#039;t hold and examine with some level of assurance. Compare the number of people ripped off on E-Bay who buy raw coins with the number that buy slabbed coins. You might disagree with the exact grade, but it is almost always close to the &quot;correct&quot; grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
