[QUOTE="jetshack, post: 449064, member: 11725"]I don't like slabs. Every slab I've ever bought I've broken. That said, I have sent coins in to be slabbed. When I'm selling an example which is one of those "special" coins, having it TPGed works wonders on the bottom line of the sale. It offers the buyers protection and it also offers myself protection. They have a reasonable expectation of knowing exactly what they're getting within a +- point. I don't understand the current slab frenzy. There is no point in slabbing a 2006 nickel. None. Other than in the hopes of getting one of those stellar grades. I'll be honest here, I can't tell the difference between a 67 and 70 coin. I've looked at tons of examples and I still can't do it, and I've been collecting for over 30 years now. After the reasons have been explained to me (on each individual coin) I can sort of understand, but even then not so much as to be able to do it on my own. The only point I see behind it is to try to build a registry set. Which I think is a bunch of $#(^.[/QUOTE]
