<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 1885753, member: 31286&quot;]Well said, CamaroDMD.&nbsp; Ah ha.&nbsp; The slab and/or CAC certification has a value of it&#039;s own.&nbsp; Kind of like the certification from an art expert confirming the origin of a painting.&nbsp; The painting hasn&#039;t changed, but value is added by the expert&nbsp; certification/authentication&nbsp; - (which as in some famous cases has been wrong) - but is usually reliable.&nbsp; With coins, like art, the value of certification seems most applicable, and desirable, for those with numismatic value/significance.&nbsp; I&#039;ve gotten used to some dependence on TPG&#039;s and CAC to help me feel confident that a coin has original surfaces, etc., but I find the proliferation of common date, inexpensive coins in certification slabs kind of strange.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
