<p>[QUOTE="waterfallice, post: 7671375, member: 119337"]I'm not convinced what you say is true. There is so much diversity out there and how and why people collect and store their coins and why they might be cracking slabs or OGP proof sets, etc. For me, I have plenty of certified slabs that will always stay where they are but I also want to put together and enjoy a type set album for the next 30-50 more years (I just switched from a Dansco 7070 to an Intercept A-190) and hopefully hand it down to my heirs. There is a certain amount of comfort to know a coin is genuine and a clear idea of its condition. For whatever reason if me or others need to liquidated sooner and maximizing value then we can consider re-slabbing but who knows what will be the standard by then? Electronic grading? Anyway... these considerations complicate the conversation over which coins to crack or not to crack far beyond maintaining current resale value in the short term, IMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
