<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 24847748, member: 56370&quot;]I think a coin in an ICG or ANACS slab is a lot better than raw.&nbsp; However, I would be nervous buying any coin in those slabs costing more than a few hundred dollars.&nbsp; Old white ANACS, preferably with 6 digit serial numbers, would be my only exception.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When I see a high value coin in an ICG or yellow ANACS, I find myself wondering why it isn’t in a top tier slab.&nbsp; My concern is less with the numerical grade than with the potential for it having been given a details grade at PCGS or NGC and later straight graded at a lower tier service.&nbsp; Another concern would be a numerical grade for which there is a large price difference in the next point or two down.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think they are fine for lower priced coins though.&nbsp; The lower grading fees make it cost effective to have those coins graded, and when buying online it’s nice to have that extra assurance.&nbsp; I’ve had terrible luck with raw coins on eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
