<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2106270, member: 26302&quot;]I am not a huge fan of slabs, but cannot disagree with Morgandude&#039;s points. However, to me the one overriding point needs to be KNOWLEDGE. The huge risk, (and it is a huge risk and will grow over time), with slabs is what if they continue to fake the slabs? A coin in a slab is MUCH harder to prove its a fake, since many of the diagnostic tools you would use cannot be performed. So no matter how you collect its truly imperative you learn about coins and how to identify fakes. If you wish to use slabs, (and there are some very good cases I would even use slabs), learn to identify the slabs properly and do not ONLY rely on the slabs for your protection. I have seen some pretty convincing fake slabs with fake coins inside.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Having said that, its an excellent post by Morgandude, (as usual), and a very important point for newer collectors to truly stop, read, and incorporate into their hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
