<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3406003, member: 44316&quot;]Sometimes the information of the slab makes the coin seen worse than it is. I have seen &quot;3&quot; assigned to surfaces I actually like. I have seen &quot;edge cut&quot; mentioned for an almost unnoticeable shallow slice into the edge. As <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-slabs-do.318688/#post-3114815" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-slabs-do.318688/#post-3114815">I have noted before</a>, many collectors fail to look at the coin and, instead, look at the info on the slab. If a slab mentions a defect, or has a number less than 5, many won&#039;t bid, even if the defect is barely a defect at all. Then you can sometimes get coins you really like at a very good price where the slab actually lowered the price!&nbsp; Then, crack it out and that low number or defect becomes less important than the coin (rather than more important than the coin, which is a good reason to dislike slabs). Then your own judgement is what matters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
