[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1320940, member: 26302"]The slabbed eagles you were buying are the rejects. The dealer sent in a large quantity hoping for 70's, and any one that is not 70 he is selling off at near bullion value. I don't see the slab adding much value, but if its there, its there. They can be a PITA to remove, (I know), so leave them be. Don't make the assumption many do that either: 1. The dealer lost money slabbing these. He more than got his money back he paid for slabbing all of them by the premiums he charged on the 70's he sold. 2. That if it cost $15 to slab, that you coin is worth ASE value PLUS $15. The $15 is a sunk cost and is not really adding to any value to your coin. If you understand all of this, buy or not buy slabbed bullion to your heart's content. Just my opinion, Chris[/QUOTE]
