<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2727636, member: 71723&quot;]I think you&#039;re taking this a little too personally. Just for your background, for AT LEAST the first 20 years of third party grading, maybe even 25 years, there was uniform agreement within this hobby that there was such a thing as &quot;not worth grading&quot;. This more recent idea of &quot;I just want to slab it &#039;cuz I like it&quot; frankly confounds a sizable majority of the hobby. It was never the idea of slabbing in the first place. It was to provide a neutral third-party arbiter of grade to establish an even marketplace trading field. For at least 25 years, nobody even THOUGHT of putting ordinary coins in slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see it, but I STILL don&#039;t quite understand it. A slab, even a top end slab, is NOT a preservative against things that gases do to coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
