<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 607379, member: 2100&quot;]When NGC first started slabbing (Civil War) tokens, it seemed that exonumia collectors largely chose to avoid them, myself included. I think we all hoped they would pack their bags and disappear, but sadly, that did not happen. For perhaps the first month or so that NGC cwt slabs appeared on ebay (most of which were MS grades and offered by the same seller), between a quarter to half of them (depending upon the day auctions ended) could not even attract the $.01 opening bid. Seems like that was sending a pretty clear message IMO. Similar raw examples on ebay at that same time were often selling for hundreds of dollars. Some prominent exonumia societies have even petitioned the tpgs to refrain from slabbing tokens, but without success. Slab (id) errors were commonplace, initially around 15-20% from my personal review. If one were to be picky, NGC has yet to correctly follow the hobby accepted identification system for cwts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
