<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 1989151, member: 71338&quot;]I agree somewhat with your analogy. But that only goes so far. If you enjoy the selling part of coin collecting or just want to ensure better selling experiences, having a coin slab prevents the dealers out there a lot of times from going too low based on their supposed perception of a coin&#039;s condition. If I see a raw or slabbed coin out there with the same grade stated with the coin, the slabbed one is a better deal. First off, I don&#039;t have to pay the slabbing price; second, it&#039;s protected better; third, because of the reason about haggling I mentioned earlier;&#039;fourth, i can register the slab and put it in an online inventory, compete etc, and so on. As you can see, being a &quot;real&quot; coin collector/enthusiast has nothing to do with this scenario. If anything, I&#039;d argue that the real experienced collector would opt for the slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
