<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 3336496, member: 44357&quot;]That is extremely admirable! And, while many people on the forum are anti-slab, I don&#039;t blame you in the slightest. I prefer my coins &quot;in the flesh&quot; but there are far bigger things to worry about in the world than whether or not coins should be slabbed. There is definitely merit to it for protecting coins if you&#039;re passing them around to people inexperienced in handling them. </p><p><br /></p><p>While NGC doesn&#039;t guarantee authenticity, they won&#039;t slab something they know is fake and, frankly, a second opinion is valuable. I&#039;ve had a couple coins where I wasn&#039;t 100% certain they were real but the dealer I bought them from thought they were. Normally I avoid any ambiguity and I tend to trust my gut but felt it was worth the &quot;gamble&quot; just in case they ended up being genuine. I sent them to NGC: they were rejected. I returned them and received a refund; no issues. At times, it&#039;s well worth the fee to ask a neutral third party.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
