<p>[QUOTE=&quot;griv, post: 267702, member: 8952&quot;]I think more than anything, you have to select a highly reputable slab company. There are only two I would consider are PCGS and NGC, but at the same time if you want the very, very best and the highest resale for your coins go PCGS. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I agree with posters that say the price of &quot;quality&quot; slabs (basically PCGS, NGC, ICG, ANACS) will continue to remain much higher than unslabbed coins especially in the modern mintages. If you are buying those other garbage slabs then shame on you. I would consider it impossible to safely buy coins via the Internet if not for reliable slabs that guarantee their grade and I have purchased the vast majority of my sets via the Internet. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also agree that until recently the coin industry was primarily dominated by the &quot;real&quot; coin collectors (or experts really) that can grade their own coins, spot fakes, identify errors and understand the history/politics of the coins. In a way it made it hard to get into or back into coin collecting unless you really knew what you were doing or were willing to bet the farm. I absolutely respect you guys (and girls), but since I didn&#039;t have those skills I was happy to have PCGS and NGC around so I can collect too without having my savings swindled away. That doesn&#039;t mean I didn&#039;t learn along the way though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just my thoughts. :whistle:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
