<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3115960, member: 78244&quot;]I usually find that slabs make a coin I want more expensive, but sometimes the slab helps in keeping the coin cheap. While I have never had a slabbed ancient, my experience with modern coins is quite similar. (Sorry to pollute this post with disgusting moderns <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this one as AU details. Because of the slab, it was quite cheap. I sent it back in and got AU-55. Sold it for twice as much. Same coin, different slab. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]791788[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this one raw for $45. I tried selling it raw for $150. I tried trading it to a dealer for a $200 coin. Not a single person wanted it. Then I got it slabbed and it graded MS-62. Then people wanted it for $300-350. Same coin, worthless out of the slab, $$$ in the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]791790[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This one was graded *only* MS-62. It is nicer than that. The slab let me get it for “cheap.”</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]791792[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]791800[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
