<p>[QUOTE="Old Silver, post: 185010, member: 4686"]I agree in part. For investment pieces and for verification/authentication it sometimes becomes necessary and wise to submit coins to a professional TPG. IMHO, it is not good to suggest to a new collector to send common, circulating coins to a TPG and pay the slabbing fees on a coin that will probably not be worth much over face. If you figure, cost per coin + s/h + Slabbing fees you would probably end up spending about 10x or more what each coin is actually worth. If protection is the main concern then this money would be much better spent on proof or uncirculated sets that offer protection straight from the mint. You then get the<u> whole years run </u>of coins for not much more than 1 coin would cost to submit to a TPG.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
