<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2424852, member: 19463"]I believe a good part of the reason an auction house would not guarantee a slab is that their 'good pair of eyes' could not evaluate a coin once it is slabbed. You can't see the edge, weigh it, feel the surfaces (I do believe in the blind collector's abilities), smell it (fresh paint is bad) ---- all you can do is see there is something under that plastic someone is asking you to believe is a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
