[QUOTE="ukgoldbug, post: 997582, member: 18631"]Sadly, particularly Dealers cheat! And dealers say they don't like slabbing, is there any wonder? The obvious reason why is, it reduces the extent to which they can get away with being greedy. They assume their profit margins will be reduced from 50% to 20%, which may be true. But in the end cheating customers will stain the whole coin collecting activity and people will just walk away. There is a British slabbing company, called Coin Grading Service UK (or C.G.S.) I use them. They are tough! Many established British dealers refuse to handle their coins, as it is not in their interests to promote this grader. In the end it will be their loss as amateur British coin collectors are learning that dealers are not on their side, but their own. Worth taking a look at what they have to say: [url]http://www.cgs-uk.biz/cgs-uk/aboutGs[/url][/QUOTE]
