<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 448639, member: 112"]Everybody always seems to think that you have to spend a fortune slabbing coins.

[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 448639, member: 112"]Everybody always seems to think that you have to spend a fortune slabbing coins. Well, I've owned thousands of slabbed coins and never spent 1 cent on the slabs. I've never submitted a single coin for grading - ever. And to me, THAT is where people make their mistake. There is no need to submit coins for grading and pay all those grading fees. Why ? Because there are thousands of them out there already slabbed - buy the coin already slabbed and it doesn't cost you anything for the slab. Yeah I know, all too many think they can get such a better deal by buying a raw coin and then submitting it. Well guess what - 99% of the time you can't. You may think you did, but you didn't. And that's the part that the TPG's just love. They know that you think that you can pick out raw coins that are under-graded by the seller and then submit them, get a higher grade than the seller assigned and come out like a bandit. They BANK on you thinking that ! And yeah, once in a while you can pull it off. But 9 out of 10 times you won't. Of course you'll forget those 9 times and only remember the 1. That's what keeps these people in business. What you'll find if you take the time and actually keep an open mind is that you can get the same coin already slabbed, in the grade you want, for the same price as you can buy that raw coin. Of course you might have to look around a little, shop a little and you won't have that "instant gratification" that everybody in today's world seems to think they can't live without. But what you will have is a collection of coins slabbed and graded by a reputable company for all the reasons you want them to be - and you won't ever pay a single grading fee. Remember folks - there are 25 million coins out there already graded. Trust me, they have the ones you want.[/QUOTE]
