Don't forget-slabbing was totally a product of dealers trying to get more profit out of the same old coins(and also a nice little buisness for the likes of pcgs & etc.) That said,the moral of my story is you better know your coins well before you buy them, slabbed or not. Coin grading is subjective,no matter who does it! So the old rule of thumb;If it doesn't look good to you, don't buy!(no matter how high the grade.) Authenticating is good, raritizing is not,so is slabbing a neccesary procedure? My personal opinion is the have'nt done the collecting community any real service with slabbing,they have just made another market for speculators/"investors". But, hey more money to throw around the coin world,huh? And if anyone can get any good out of the slabbing more power to ya![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
