RyanS New Member Australia 43 Posts	Posted 08/03/2012 01:32 am I get the feeling that people are trying to sell slabbed coins on ebay for grossly inflated prices simply because it's slabbed. I guess they were hoping to fool people into thinking if it's slabbed it's something really good. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAUDI-ARABI...em3378820564 Standard catalogue of world coins (2011)..

I have no idea how rare that coin is if at all ect so no clue what it should go for. But there is only 1 of them graded by pcgs like that. The PCGS cert could be very rare and bring big premiums in SA, I dont know enough to say it doesn't. Or they could have paid close to that for the coin and hoping to get the money back. Only takes 1 person to say yes to the price. For what its worth theres more over priced raw coins on ebay than slabbed as you cant try and over grade a slab Report this Post to the Staff

Not all, but the vast majority of coins seem to be over-graded. And "RARE" :-) Report this Post to the Staff

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 09:27 am When looking for slabbed coins, I check the PCGS/NGC websites for values and previous auction apperances (PCGS) and make my offer apporx. 1/4 less than the posted values, and go from there. It depends on "eye appeal" more than the slab itself. Report this Post to the Staff
