<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2523033, member: 74282"]This is my reason as well. You just can't fully inspect a slabbed coin. If there's a coin I'm interested in that's slabbed I'll ask the dealer if I can get it in writing that if I crack the slab and find something I wasn't expecting(corrosion, edge breaks, fouree, evidence of alteration or forgery under the scope, etc), can I return the coin. If the answer is "no"(and so far it always has been) they won't get my business unless I really need the coin AND I can find pre-slabbing sales records for it. I previously got bit paying for a coin that NGC slabbed as silver when in fact it was fouree and this was apparent under the microscope after breaking it out. That's a mistake I won't make again. What's the point of even slabbing a coin if they won't look closely enough to see and note things like that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
