<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 319176, member: 6449&quot;]My point isn&#039;t that the coin changes when you slab it, but that if it&#039;s already slabbed when you get it then you can have greater confidence it&#039;s genuine and natural than if it were raw.&nbsp; I think of it this way.&nbsp; If I have a choice between two identical looking coins and one is PCGS certified and the other is not, I&#039;d prefer the certified one.&nbsp; How MUCH I&#039;d prefer it depends on the specifics, but by definition, the preference is worth a premium.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you are confident in your ability to make this determination, then, I agree there is no added value for you.&nbsp; I&#039;m not at that level, especially when buying coins online (which is the only practical way for me to buy them). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The top grading services do make mistakes, but they reimburse buyers for coins that are erroneously certified.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
