<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 1368029, member: 23692"]I think that schnauzer's post above with the cost rundown says it all. Unless you have a coin whose REAL VALUE is more than $100, it is not even close to worth it to have it slabbed. By REAL value, I mean what it is worth to an actual person, not what it says in a book. If a book lists a coin at $100, but you can buy it by looking around for $50-60, it's not a $100 coin .. it's a $50-60 coin. With the cost of TPG'ing your out-of-pocket (including the purchase price) expenses will be more than the coin will ever be worth. Put your coin in a 2X2 and save yourself $40-50 to buy another 6-7 coins just like the one that you have now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
