They're still the same coins right barring no damage during removal. I think it's sadder that the slabs provide the coins value instead of the coins themselves. That being said after looking at the rest of the sellers listings I'd be more wary that this is a gimmick this seller uses to increase his sales values. He could also swap out coins yet leave the labels there of better coins and then say 'we'll gradings subjective' because it seems odd someone would have more than one set like this.
I don't think anyone is forking over $20k for those coins before going over them for a few hours with a loupe. You would have to have complete disregard for money to bid on those based on the pictures provided and the fact that they may have once been slabbed at that grade. Are there better pictures (or an option for a viewing) somewhere that I'm missing?
I impartially agree to this but also feel , if you have coins in a slabbed with a great grade like a Ms 60-66 on up why on earth would you take them out just to put them in a bloody book .. its a waste I mean come on you spend all that money for certified graded coins to devalue them dramatically Sent from my C6740N using Tapatalk
Pause ,Okay so if the coin tones in the album after it's been graded a Ms 66 red and take in / on an brown tone to over 85% of the coin. Is it still worth its ms66 red price tag .. cause that is bound to happen Sent from my C6740N using Tapatalk
One can collect however they see fit. Unless you would like others telling you your preferences are wrong, perhaps you should consider giving the same respect. That said, the issue here is value and expectations. Blissskr makes an excellent point about how the plastic seems to matter more than the coins, and is unfortunately true. Still, one cannot blame someone for trying, but anyone who chooses to take such a path needs to understand the pitfalls of doing so.
Good luck grading a coin from these photos, without reverse photos, while some of the most important coins just happen to covered by slabs.
Should we expect to see you on "Judge Judy" suing your "CRAZY UNCLE" because he is destroying the value of your future inheritance? I say, "To each his own!" Chris
You noticed that too? I was initially trying to get a good view of the high dollar coins based on the slab labels but conveniently they seem to all be obstructed.
Quite true. A knowledgeable person will pay just as much for a coin raw as he would if it were slabbed. That's what the old axiom buy the coin, not the slab means.
I am sure you lost money, but not that much. A lot of those are <$10 coins. Without the slab, collectors pretty much do not want them. But you did not lose that much. A couple of the earlier ones have some value, but there is probably some demand for them.
In this case, I disagree with most of these. They are too common and there is just no demand for them unslabbed. For instance, a "PCGS 1990-S PROOF 69 RED DCAM" sells for $8 slabbed. I will bet you could not get $2 for it raw. No one wants them raw. And the same is true for at least 80% of those coins.
