<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 108075, member: 112&quot;]There are a couple of reasons that collectors have coins re-slabbed by another TPG - they either don&#039;t like the slab it&#039;s in, they want all their slabbed coins to be in the same slab, or they plan to some day sell the coin and think it will bring a higher price in the other slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>If your reason is one of the first two - go ahead and have it done. But if it is the last - there&#039;s something else to consider.</p><p><br /></p><p>When a coin is crossed, any question about what <u>might</u> happen if the coin were crossed is removed. But, if the coin, in the original slab, were placed up for auction potential buyers will look at the coin in one of two ways. First of all they will know what the going rate is for the coin in the given grade and given slab. Next they will consider if the coin has a chance of being upgraded or being crossed at the same grade. If in their opinion the coin will cross at an equal or higher grade and thus bring a higher price if in a different slab - they will bid appropriately. In other words they will bid a higher price. Perhaps even a higher price than they should bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see people like to gamble. And it is human nature to take a chance on the unknown in hopes of reaping rewards. Given the choice between taking a sure thing and taking a chance on a maybe - most folks will take the maybe every time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t believe me ? Then why are you considering having it crossed to begin with ?
