<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1862655, member: 5233&quot;]It does matter.&nbsp; I know we need to &quot;buy the coin, not the slab&quot; but when you buy coins graded by reputable grading companies you are buying the coin as well as an experts opinion of that coin.&nbsp; Now, the buyer should always evaluate the coin for them-self and decide if the experts grade meets their (the buyer&#039;s) standard...but that market accepted expert opinion that comes on the slab does have a value.&nbsp; Assuming of course, the grading company on the slab is one that is considered reputable.&nbsp; IMHO, PCGS and NGC are the only truly reputable companies today.&nbsp; If I buy a coin in any other slab, I personally consider it raw (ie, the &quot;expert&quot; assessment has no value).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
