<p>[QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 286801, member: 103422"]If you take the coin, a 1916-d Mercury in this case, out of the slab no matter what the grade and place it in an album, then whoever you hand your collection down to or if you decide to sell it yourself later on down the road the coin will have to be authenticated and slabbed again before its sold. Personally, I would not buy a coin like this, or any major key date for that matter, without it being sent away, if for nothing else, to be authenticated. Sorry, but I'm not willing to take the chance on wasting hundreds if not thousands on a counterfiet coin. Although I can spot most fakes when I see them, some of these low lifes are pretty good at manufacturing a rarity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
