<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 100570, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I don&#039;t think I saw anything mentioned on this. Some coins will deteriorate in the slabs.&nbsp; Older slabs are not airtight and you can practically whistle through some of them.&nbsp; An MS-69&nbsp; coin may have been OK when it was placed in the slab. It may not be an MS-69 coin today.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I worry about buying slabs on Ebay because someone (the seller) who can take a real close look at the coin can see if there is anything that is changing on the coin that would lessen the grade.&nbsp; I am not saying that some folks don&#039;t just make a mistake but it could just be a convenient way to sell coins that are now in a slab that is graded too high.&nbsp; Someone could get MS-69 money for an MS-63 coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is also possible that a coin is so changed by PVC damage from a prior holder or corrosion that it can&#039;t even be graded anymore. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would only buy raw coins from an Ebay seller with a great return policy.&nbsp; I would only buy slabbed coins when I can hold the slab in my hand and check out the coin myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just some thoughts,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
