<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2013549, member: 19463"]Explain to me the price structure. I note no proponent ever gives a number on these costs. Is it a slimy secret where some pay one price while others pay more? I might agree that a fee of 10% of the coins raw value would be absorbed but not when the fee is more than the coin. The coins shown on this page strike me as ranging from $10 to $40 raw. How much would they charge to slab them? I am still in the camp that would want to remove the coins after purchase so buying a slabbed coin would only be for the opinion of the slabber on the authenticity. This seems a total waste. Ten years from now, I can only assume that these slabs will have to be replaced at another charge for whatever is the then current fad in the format (as has been the case on US coins, I understand?). That is a lot to pay for a service that renders a coin unphotographable and untouchable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
