[QUOTE="kanga, post: 401139, member: 9270"]My comfort level is 10%. If it costs 10% or less [U]of what you believe the coin is worth[/U] to have it slabbed, then it's a [B]candidate[/B] for slabbing. I like slabbing for several reasons: - knowledge that the coin is authentic - added protection - an expert's [U]opinion[/U] of the grade - better chance of the coin selling - better chance of getting a fair price And it helps you learn to grade. Grade the raw coin; send it in; compare when you get it back (also helps you learn about altered coins if you get it back in a body bag). I personally prefer slabbed coins.[/QUOTE]
