<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1883189, member: 5233&quot;]I completely and 100% agree.&nbsp; I think this is a terrible thing to say (when talking about top tier TPGs: PCGS and NGC).&nbsp; It completely devalues the slab.&nbsp; Despite what a lot of people around here like to say...the slab has value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my line of thinking and IMHO, this really only applies to PCGS and NGC.&nbsp; One could make the argument that old ANACS slabs also apply to this.&nbsp; Anyway, my thought is these top tier TPGs are an expert in this field...when they slab a coin they are labeling it with their expert analysis.&nbsp; It just like having an appraisal done on a house or having a medical exam done by a doctor...their experience and expertise has value.&nbsp; Now, I&#039;m not saying a coin is worth more when it is slabbed verses raw.&nbsp; If I sent in a 1893-S Morgan Dollar and it is slabbed...the coin is worth the same as it was before I sent it in.&nbsp; However, the <b><u>package of the coin with the slab</u></b> is worth more than the coin alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>On top of the increase in value, the slabbed coin is more liquid as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
