<p>[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 8074724, member: 101855"]The old rule of thumb used to be that an item had to be worth $200 to be worth the slabbing cost. Today it’s probably over $300 given the high shipping costs. As the others said, if you want it certified, buy it certified. This is true because of the cost and because you never know for sure what grade the TPG will give you. Even the experts get fooled now and then. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have had it go both ways for me. I have also had a few coins get “no grades” from one service and higher grades, like AU and MS-64, from the other. This was with both PCGS and NGC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
