<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 314381, member: 2949&quot;]To me, the high quality TPGs provide a value adding service. If I had two coins side by side, both were the same year, denomination and grade (disregarding small differences in the two coins)...and one was raw for $300 and the other was slabbed and was $320. I&#039;d pay $320 for the slabbed coin. I figure I am paying $20 for the added features provided by the TPG (authentication, close or accurate grading, checking for problems, a nice display holder, etc.), which is worth it to me. I&#039;m paying for the TPG&#039;s expertise to supplement my own knowledge, but that&#039;s just my opinion. Now, I will also say that I won&#039;t blindly buy the coin in the slab though. I need to examine it myself, agree with the grading, etc. before purchasing the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
