<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1177599, member: 26302&quot;]Of course, for a price a dealer will take anything he can make money off of. The ones Doug is talking about will look at your coin in that holder as a raw coin, one that he will buy and immediately crack out and submit to NGC or PCGS. If the coin will be treated as a raw coin and the slab will be discarded, what was the point of you spending money to send it in to begin with? Slabs are valuable if they add to, or ensure, a value when you go to sell them. If a dealer will ignore a slab and immediately crack it out, what value did you get from that submission? </p><p><br /></p><p>I buy ancient coins slabbed if I like the coin. In fact, I find great joy cracking them out of their little coffins. To me and a lot of ancient collectors, any slab is wasted value if the coin is sold to us. For many dealers, any non-NGC or PCGS slab is wasted money selling to them as well. That was Doug&#039;s point I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
