<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2229369, member: 19463"]This could not be said better. Slabbed coins will sell for more but only to people willing to pay more. People like me will be happy to buy the coin for the value of the coin but will not pay one red cent for the plastic or opinion of the guy who slabbed it. If I want to pay for an opinion, I will be using the services of someone who does not do plastic. When a seller offers a $10 coin for $40 the chances of it going unsold is obviously higher than if he offered it for $20. I currently have about $300 worth of used coin cases with trays (off brand not the Abfil ones). I moved my coins into $100 worth of paper envelopes and boxes so I can now pick up my entire collection at one time. Does this mean I should expect 10 cents more per coin because I spent that money on those trays? I'll have to suffer that loss. Do you think I should be reimbursed for the cost of fancy plastic holders? You may; I don't. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do admit that I would like to know how many of my coins would be declared fake by an expert. $40 x 3000 coins = $120,000. I am not that curious. Hey medoraman, how much would it cost to slab your hoard?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
