<p>[QUOTE="tcore, post: 156691, member: 2949"]For the more expensive coins I'm trying to buy, I prefer my coins to be slabbed by one of the top TPGs. I like the fact that reputable people have judged the coin to be authentic and have given it a grade that should be very close to the actual grade. I don't mind paying a little premium over raw coins for slabbed coins as I see it as a service that I like. I do have to agree with the grade on the slab before I buy the coin though, or have to think the coin may be a little better that what it is labeled as. I try very hard not to buy overgraded coins. Plus, I just like how the slabs look and enjoy displaying my collection in such a way. I do like Air-Tites as well. For all of my nicer coins that aren't in slabs, I have them in Air-Tites. The other nice thing about slabs is that you have a little bit more to hold on to when viewing the coin. The two downsides that I see to slabbed coins are that you can't view the edge in most cases and a lot of the slabs seem to scuff easily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
