<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 311669, member: 6370&quot;]a slab gives me no extra confidence when buying thus they are worthless...in fact the coin is worth less because now I have to take time to break the coin out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought a coin in a slab once...(bought the coin not the slab of course) and the slab has scratches on it. I had decided to keep the coin in the slab but it was so scratched I couldnt take a photo of the coin so I ended up breaking it out as well...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Having a coin slabbed and graded by some guy working for a TPG means nothing...it can still be fake, misattributed, or just wrongly graded (something that remains subjective and always will be so)...and after seeing a coin misattributed by a TPG by about <b>500 years</b> and attributed to the wrong time and culture (a roman coin attributed to ancient greece)...how would that ever make me confident that I could trust one of them...Its a false sense of security.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
