[QUOTE="mitchell, post: 14347, member: 989"]IMO, and it doesn't count for much to anyone but me, the sellers that use those generic slabs and pretend the coins has been professionally graded are questionable. Some of them walk a very fine line with the truth. I see them from time to time and can tell that the coins are not what it is claimed; me, the novice collector. In situations where the seller claims that it has a serial number attached, is just more of the dung he is spreading. What good does his personal serial numbering system do you? How does that increase the value? That is just more of the dung to try to make you think it is graded. Personally, I stay away from the self slabbed coins. Unless, I can tell by the photograph that the coin is good, and IF the seller has a return policy and great feedback ratings. YMMV.[/QUOTE]
