<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 25681456, member: 91609&quot;]Perhaps I didn&#039;t make myself clear.&nbsp; I totally agree, if you are preparing to sell, &amp; want to slab, PCGS is <b><i><u>the</u></i></b> optimum TPG choice among all others (because the &quot;market&quot; says so).&nbsp; (Aside:&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen enough of the beans on various slabs to know it&#039;s just a gimmick - but that&#039;s just me.)</p><p><br /></p><p><b><i>However</i></b>, I was addressing Geek&#039;s statement that he intentionally excludes (doesn&#039;t even look at, at all; intentionally excludes them from searches!!!!) ANACS slabs, which I think is a very bad choice, and very bad advice to collectors (at least those who are adept at self-grading).&nbsp; I stand by my belief that some of my best specimens were obtained in ANACS slabs (and some remain there, albeit they are artistically &quot;out there&quot;).&nbsp; Again, I&#039;ve never bought a coin because of the slab...but that&#039;s just me.&nbsp; (Truth:&nbsp; I twice bought coins I didn&#039;t &quot;need&quot;, because of the doily!)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re a discriminating collector (wow, there&#039;s a good use of <b><i>that</i></b> word), all slabs should be &quot;in play&quot;.&nbsp; I suppose that depends on your confidence as a grader.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
