<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 449919, member: 6370&quot;]I apologize, I guess I just took you wrong, I thought when you said someone who doesnt slab (use a TPG) valuable coins was a &#039;pain&#039; and &#039;doesnt care about his family&#039;, then when you said that even if you are a &#039;selfish collector who doesn&#039;t give a hoot about anyone else but me me me&#039; slabs are still worth it because of point A, B, and C... I thought you were still referring, in general, to people who do not slab. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But you are right, if a person leaves value coins laying around in a pile, in a box, well...its a shame the guy was collecting such valuable coins and treating them that way. I would think the lions share of collectors of valuable coins do not keep their coins loose in a box. They attribute the coins and estimate a grade and probably value based on estimate of grade and price at least in the year they bought it. Like said before, a &#039;snap shot&#039;... Most collectors with valuable collections will have this information I would think and the &#039;I was left a fortunes worth of coins in a box...what are they!!&#039; is rather rare.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am not sure if the slab=a fair price or a higher price...If a person buys a coin around retail or even at wholesale...slabs it and intends to sell it, they are not going to sell it for less than it took them to buy the coin and the cost of the slab, then a profit for them....period...thus prices will go up for every slabbed coin slabbed this way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
