<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 449906, member: 15309&quot;]I would like to state that I don&#039;t think most coins under $100 need to be slabbed.&nbsp; However, when you get above $100 and especially over $500 per coin, I absolutely think slabbing is necessary.&nbsp; I also agree completely with Doug,&nbsp; I have bought thousands of dollars of coins over the years, and have only submitted maybe 20 or so for grading.&nbsp; It is very easy to obtain any coin you want already slabbed and I see no reason to submit coins yourself, unless the raw coin is already in you collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The premise that slabbing is not needed due to inconsistency however is very much flawed.&nbsp; I think that most collectors and dealers are way too critical of the PCGS and NGC when it comes to their consistency.&nbsp; We can all find a coin if we search hard enough that we think is overgraded.&nbsp; However, we forget about the hundreds, maybe thousands of coins that we saw that were properly graded during our search.&nbsp; IMO, the TPG&#039;s are very consistent with regards to grade and even more consistent with regards to authentication. In addition, authentication is guaranteed, so if you do happen to get a slabbed counterfiet, the TPG owes you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The slab might not completely protect the coin from the atmosphere, but it does provide a measure of protection that is higher than a raw coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t want to get into the inheritance debate, but I would like to ask a question.&nbsp; What should someone like me do in this regard.&nbsp; My coins are slabbed, but they are rainbow toned and were purchased and are worth multiples of the list price.&nbsp; How would I protect my hiers from getting completely ripped off?</p><p><br /></p><p>PS, Desert, how do I get in that poker game.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
