<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucky Cuss, post: 1685394, member: 44086&quot;]The TV show hucksters certainly want you to think so.&nbsp; Certainly for current and very modern coins, though, the expense of doing so is misspent if you think it&#039;s going to be fully recoverable when you go to sell them.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>BooksB4Coins</u></b> makes a good point that slabbing does add to a coin&#039;s liquidity.&nbsp; For dealers buying lots for resale, they can purchase sight unseen a quantity of say, 1881-S Morgans, certified by NGC or PCGS as MS-63 and know what they&#039;ll be getting as opposed to a raw roll of the same that are simply represented as &quot;brilliant uncirculated.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d also remark that high-end coins at reputatble auctions are almost wholly NGC/PCGS certified examples nowadays.&nbsp; Besides the grading, there&#039;s an authentication factor at play here that&#039;s certainly worth a &quot;peace of mind&quot; premium when you&#039;re shelling out the big bucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
