[QUOTE="clembo, post: 267460, member: 8033"]Hello Coinfisher, Guess I am one of those old timers at the ripe old age of 45. My previous post was basically a joke and a bad one at that because it IS so true. I own very few slabbed coins. Most are PCGS, NGC or ANACS. I even have a few PCI that I am happy with. You've missed the point here I'm afraid. ANYONE can slab and it will sell to the inexperienced. Type SGS into the search engine on CoinTalk and see what we have to say. TOTAL OVERGRADED GARBAGE that sells like hot cakes. We're not talking about counterfeiting slabs in PCGS or NGC holders here. We're addressing other companies and/or individuals that slab coins. 99% are NOT qualified. I think many will agree with that. I'm afraid you had one comment that really DID offend me. Here it is" "most serious collectors try to put togeather a nice slabed set such as a 63 morgan set. and as bad as this sounds the older generation is slowley either getting out of the business or is dieing off it seems like the newer generation wants the slabed coins" Been to a coin show lately? Old folks, and I'm not even one for cripes sake, still know what's going on. I have a set of killer business strike 2 Cent Pieces that will knock you socks off. I plan on getting it slabbed some day. BY PCGS most likely. SERIOUS collectors come in all ages.[/QUOTE]
