<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 3314404, member: 76863&quot;]While the coin does drive the slab, the slab does matter.&nbsp; The market has been moving away from off brand slabs for a while and really even away from PCGS/NGC ones in a lot of areas.&nbsp; If you&#039;re buying a common date/grade Morgan it really doesn&#039;t make a difference, but in a lot of areas it makes a huge difference.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The theory of I will buy it at x discount and sell it again x discount sounds good, but there are a lot of things to consider with that.&nbsp; The major one is the direction of the market, x maybe 30% today but if the market keeps going in the direction it has been (nothing really shows that it won&#039;t) by the time you go to sell x could easily be 50%.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The next would be liquidity and where exactly are you going to sell it.&nbsp; Many dealers don&#039;t want to touch anything but PCGS/NGC slabs unless you make them take the others in a substantial consignment.&nbsp;&nbsp; The same is true for auction houses and for the ones that will take other slabs you will lose all leverage in negotiations.&nbsp; A PCGS/NGC $500 coin will sell a lot quicker than other slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>This basically leaves you with eBay or collector to collector.&nbsp; Most collector to collector in person options are very limited.&nbsp; That will leave most people trying to sell them online where they will be penalized the most and very likely could take a while to sell.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course if the coin is all there you can cross it over but that has a cost and depending on the price of the coin could end up being a significant percentage of the coins value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
