If I were unknowledgeable about grading coins then I would have to rely on NGC, PCGS, ICG and ANACS to have a shot at having the grade coin I wish to own.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t trust anything but my own two eyes as to the condition and authenticity of a coin. Also add a crap load of research and education. </p><p><br /></p><p>Slabbed coins that have been slabbed by top TPG companies do carry credibility enough for some people to be able to buy sight unseen or by pics, anything but in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>If spending 15 dollars could make me 100 dollars or more then that would be a profit of 85 dollars. Do that X10 or X100 or X1000 and you can see where the MONEY comes in to play.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t collect slabbed coins but I do have examples mostly MS65 that I use as bench marks for grading MS coins of mine, that I will never have slabbed or sell for that matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep on Collecting!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Allen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
