[QUOTE="DoubleDie, post: 380563, member: 10132"]just carl, no offense, but you don't like slabs, and I don't expect an old timer to accept any new changes in the first place, but changes are coming, no matter who don't like. The next generation will accept the change as nothing new and part of collecting. Just like those of this generation accept slabs as part of collecting, but you must remember the controversy and disregard for slabbed coins in the beginning. I suggested this because I saw two identical PCGS slabs, one on Heritage and the other on ebay. The fake was a new slab, but the coin was toned when compared to the Heritage slab. This man from China, who makes them, said he is responsable for most of the counterfeit US coins made, will invest thousands of dollars to make any slab anyone wants or any coin anyone wants, and is trying to gain US support by tempting other ebay sellers to sale the coins and slabs he makes. He also offers pictures of thousands of fake coins and fake slabs. Also, he has been reported to ebay more than once. So while some choose to respond to my post with sarcasm, and disregard, this man is duping people out of their money, and is a crook. We should take this afront personally, and find a way of thwarting his efforts instead of mine. The future and integrity of slab collecting is in jeopardy, whether you like slabs or not. But slabs are here to stay. One must decide if they want fakes or authentic slabs in the future, because if all grading companies stopped producing slabs, the the crooks would come out in force with fakes and replicas. As if that's not already their plans in the first place. But it could get worse. Not only is the slab acting as storage for our coins, and third party opinion between sellers and buyers, but it now has the job of saving slabbed coin collector's hobby. The fact that this doesn't apply to you is irrelevent because there are more that it does apply to, then those it doesn't.[/QUOTE]
