<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 334670, member: 4626&quot;]Perception.&nbsp; PCGS coins are worth more precisely because people believe that they are.&nbsp; It&#039;s a self-perpetuating myth.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can change people&#039;s perceptions but it&#039;s difficult and requires educating a lot of people.&nbsp; Good luck... when even a lot of the educated coin collectors and investors continue to believe that PCGS plastic somehow makes the coin worth more, it will continue to be true.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve given up on trying to alter the perceptions of others.&nbsp; But personally, 99.999% of the time I&#039;ll absolutely refuse to buy any slabbed coin... and in the rare cases I do I won&#039;t pay more for one coin over another just because of what plastic it&#039;s in.&nbsp; It&#039;s the coin that&#039;s worth something, not the plastic, as far as I&#039;m concerned.&nbsp; If the rest of the world insists on believing the world is flat when I think it&#039;s round, let them, don&#039;t see how it affects me any.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
