An educated buyer will pay exactly the same price whether the coin is slabbed or raw. An uneducated buyer will pay more for the slabbed coin because he doesn&#039;t have the necessary experience to be sure of the actual grade himself. He has to have somebody tell him what the grade is. And more often than not, he pays too much for the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>All that that proves is what I said above.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, not at all. An insurance company could care less if the coin is in a slab or not. A slab adds no value to the coin. Slabbed or raw the coin is still worth the same amount. Slabs have one advantage and only one advantage related to value - they make the coin easier to sell. And they make the coin easier to sell because the uneducated buyers greatly outnumber the educated buyers, so you have a larger buying audience to present the coin to for consideration.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you are talking about insurance for purposes of shipping you insure the coin for what it is worth. And the only accepted price guide there is, the Coin Dealer&#039;s Newsletter, values the coin, slabbed or raw, at the exact same price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
