[QUOTE="Neil UK, post: 2224125, member: 70963"]So, I have a somewhat complete 1662-1970 UK type set (no gold). Still need some $$$ high value pre-George III crowns, Gothic crown etc. I took a chance and bid/won on a non-slabbed 1929 George V crown. I know that there are probably more fake Wreath Crowns than real ones out there, but the seller (not a coin guy) made a good case for why it is most likely genuine. Here's a question: I'd like to get it slabbed through a PCGS dealer in my area. PCGS has pretty steep membership fees and I'm not really a 'slab collector' so the $69 membership fee seems unnecessary to me as I don't plan to be slabbing any more coins. Has anyone gone this route? Should I buck up and just pay the fees? Plus, I should add, I'll most likely remove it from the slab when it comes back genuine and graded (hopefully AU58) [ATTACH=full]436246[/ATTACH] Thanks.[/QUOTE]
