[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2214506, member: 15929"]Better yet, why even buy them graded? Just get them from the US Mint and slap them into a Dansco and save your money! The problem is the "perception" that a graded coin is special in some way. The reality is that it's just one of thousands of others that are just like it. Literally every single coin in a TPG's Slab has the potential for being a huge loser! By that I mean, what happens if the reputation of the TPG suddenly gets trashed over some scandal involving grade fixing? Virtually every coin in one of those slabs immediately loses value since the reputation of the TPG becomes meaningless. Look at ACG and the tumble from grace that it took.[/QUOTE]
