<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1818867, member: 75105&quot;]Personally I never understood buying slabbed coins and then cracking them out.

The grade no longer applies.</p><p><br /></p><p>The slab also protects the coin, and the TPG&#039;s grade adds value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand buying slabbed coins so you&#039;re &quot;protected&quot;. Many people do this as pictures often hide things or worked over to make a $1 coin look like a $50 coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no reason, <b>none</b>, whatsoever, to bust them out of the holder. </p><p><br /></p><p>Simply the slab itself is worth $5 for keeping the coin protected. Every time you bust a slab, you might as well take a $5 bill and burn it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
