<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 268158, member: 8566&quot;]sayings exist for a reason, like the one that goes &quot;buy the highest quality coin you can afford.&quot;&nbsp; the value of such a coin will never diminish, regardless of price.</p><p><br /></p><p>value and price are not the same.&nbsp; a slabbed coin has more value compared to an unslabbed coin of the same grade.&nbsp; it has been assigned a value that is higher because an authority has declared it&#039;s grade.&nbsp; the consumer has more faith in the grade and thus the coin is worth more.&nbsp; the price of the grade might change, but a slabbed coin from a top teir slabber will always demand a high price in the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>if you buy coins from the lesser grading companies - PCI, ICG, et al, than the value will be less since those slabbers are not seen as leaders or experts in the industry by the consumers.&nbsp; the top teir slabbed coins will always command a premium because they are assigned more value.</p><p><br /></p><p>there will be no crash - a slight price correction will occur once the US economy picks up and the dollar rebounds.&nbsp; i&#039;m far more worried about the value of the dollar in the world economy than the price of my coin in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>-steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
