<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 848008, member: 8033&quot;]Interesting viewpoint but remember ALL shops are different. I happen to work in one that has been around over 40 years. Will my boss guarantee any raw coin? Nope.</p><p>Will he guarantee a slabbed coin. Not really when you get down to it. It&#039;s a number on a piece of plastic that was assigned by someone else.</p><p><br /></p><p>You could send it in for regrading and come up short, or better or the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been a collector for most of my life at 47. I own VERY few slabs. I am not an investor but I would like to see my coins get better money than what I have paid for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have started to slab them. Why? because if something happens to me my wife can get better money for coins in plastic (with the help of some friends) than she ever could raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point is there are SO many levels of collecting. I tend to buy raw based on my own opinions. I factor in how much I want a coin. I make impulse buys to this day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still enjoy the hobby and the history behind it. It&#039;s a hobby after all. Enjoy it as such and keep learning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Had to edit this. We will guarantee that a raw coin is genuine (like an SVDB for example). If a customer were to send one in and have it come back as a counterfeit we would refund the customer in full. Has never happened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
