<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 750045, member: 4552"]Another reason the prices of many slabbed coins being so low is that there are so many people out there that are slab happy. They send in almost anything round to be graded and slabbed. At coin shows I've seen many coins that should be used in change in a slab. Even very recent dates like the new Lincoln Cents. Not sure why but I suppose some people think if they take a valueless coin and have it slabbed it will now be worth a fortune. </p><p>And as to those prices. Note there may well be a reason for those inflated prices. If PCGS lists a coin for what it really is worth, most would not attempt to have it slabbed. But if you think a coin is worth something, you may well send it to them for grading and slabbing. </p><p>From what is out there I'd say if that is their reasoning, it is paying off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
