<p>[QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 143571, member: 2100"]Those who slab low to moderate value tokens (coins as well) when there is essentially no chance of acquiring a fake, and values change little between grades (cwts in unc are commonly worth only about double that of the same token in fine). Seems it is only done because there are enough people willing to pay stupid money for plastic. I've seen XF-45s in plastic sell for double and triple the unc value, and no clue as to why. If I were a seller, I might think differently, but since I only buy, it seems to me this slabbing is only done in an attempt to rip more $$$ from my wallet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
