<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zohar444, post: 2013423, member: 13450&quot;]JA I agree regarding slabbingbin general. However unless a coin is pedigreed to a collection my view is that it will likely get discounted relative to a graded coin so the net effect is the same. I attribute it to years of abuse by some dealers in overgrading on the sale yet under grading on the buy. Slabs do not provide an absolute opinion yet its independent. Same for world coinage. I don&#039;t want to have my wife debate grades with a dealer when I kick the bucket.</p><p><br /></p><p>To conclude, professionals as yourself do not need validation whatsoever as you know what you are doing. On resale raw common coins will get less than stabbed. Scarcer coins are a different issue. I have seen heritage auctions and clearly slabbed get a premium given the 3rd party validation. </p><p><br /></p><p>So if you can apply the skill in buying discounted raw and grading upon sale you will likely do better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
