<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2276997, member: 76194&quot;]Well, no one ever said there&#039;s a substitute for doing your homework. Slab or not you better know the design, the dimensions, the weight, and all the tell tale signs of a counterfeit version of your coin. At least with a raw coin&nbsp; you can test everything before you buy it. With a slab you kind of have to take the coin as is unless there is something that obviously stands out as a fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure they are counterfeiters out there to have figured out a way to take a genuine slab and put a fake coin inside and seal it. They can always resubmit the original coin for grading to get another slab, and pawn you a fake in an original sealed slab knowing there is no way for you to weigh the coin in the slab to check for counterfeits.&nbsp; I have no proof this is happening, or happening often, but I&#039;m sure it&#039;s happened. Those people are a clever lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
