Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 639925, member: 6036"]I certainly agree. I feel there is another caveat, however. There is a difference between my buying patterns / thinking and the general market's buying patterns and thinking. As a whole, the general public sees value in TPG slabbed coins vs raw coins. Thus, in many cases, it is easier to sell certain coins* slabbed vs raw. Bottom line : a slab imparts no value to me when I am buying, but does when I am selling (i.e. when someone else is buying). For that reason, I prefer to buy certain coins slabbed, thus saving trouble down the road. I won't pay extra. But many of those types are 99% slabbed anyway.   * i.e. pre-Barber era stuff in general, particularly silver and gold[/QUOTE]
