"@SPP: Obviously a hard slab protects better than a flip. But, why do you need it in a TPG slab?"
I can't speak for SPP, but for myself, the reasons that I use TPG for my high-value coins are as follows:
1. to make sure I'm not buying a counterfeit, or altered coin. This was especially important to me when I was new to the hobby.
2. To make it easy for my family to disperse my collection when I'm gone. I'd hate for them to be offered AU prices for a solo finest MS 67 coin, for example.
3. For protection of the coin.
4. To eliminate some of the debate when arranging trades with fellow collectors.
5. To make it possible to purchase coins sight unseen, which I sometimes have to do based on living in a rural area.
