<p>[QUOTE="jgreenhood, post: 560758, member: 17030"]Truth is it's not just slabbing. It's hard to find individuals you trust. There are many out there that act as if they are your 'buddy' but sometimes you find out that they were never your 'buddy' in the first place. The thing is we learn from mistakes. Some cost more than others. That is why it is so imperative to learn & ask around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Truth is the difference between a Slabbed coin vs a dealer/collector's grade they put on a coin in a 2x2 is you pay for the slab opinion. The 2x2 one is graded for free. Granted the price tag is always based on the what the individual paid for the coin. But you have to send it in to the slab company. ( I know just re-iterated what you said, LOL)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Actually you can imply what ever to 'fake'. So I should clarify what I mean by 'fake'. Mostly I mean ones that look like they are NGC but are not in order to deceive collectors. I also refer to holders that are similar to the slabbed holders but you can open them & change the coin. Granted these can be just called slab like holders but, that's to long. LOL. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will also admit we've had issues with grading companies in the past. You will see that some grading companies have authorized dealers who can send your coin in for them. Although we are listed with one we no longer do it. Granted the grading company did fire a ton of people after the incident but we no longer send in coins for people. Why? Well, a coin with a huge value was sent in. It came back in a body bag & wasn't even close to being the same coin. So I'll admit I'm prejudice about the faith people put in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
