[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1982827, member: 71723"]It depends, really it does. Are they BOTH visually flawless? Is the raw one with the OGP? Here's my answer - if I think the raw one is nicer than the PR70 slab, I'm taking the raw one. And there's not even a moment's hesitation if the raw one is in perfect condition OGP. Why? Because one of the LAST considerations for me is what I can sell it for. That's for my heirs to figure out. Heck, man, I even occasionally buy empty OGP I think I might be able to "reunite" with the proper coin. I have a decent-sized carton of temporarily orphaned OGP. On the other hand, if I can see a difference and the slabbed one is visually nicer, now I'm leaning toward the slab. I'm not in this to flip squat. I've never done a flip job in my life! And if the raw one is just in capsule, or worse yet in a 2x2 (yuck!), I take the slab, 'cuz I'll have the raw one slabbed anyway. Also, the TPG matters. In my present state of mind, if it's PCGS :vomit: (Ptoo! Ptoo!) I lean raw. If it's NGC, now we increase the conundrum. :eek:[/QUOTE]
