Are there any dealers in Australia that actually can help to send coins for grading or the only option is to do it by ourselves?

tiddyathome Valued Member Australia 252 Posts	Posted 04/10/2007 7:21 pm I have to ask, what is slabbing? I have seen this term come up and still havent worked out what it means. As for a flogging, I have no idea why but a flogging is a flogging so count me in. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 04/10/2007 7:45 pm Slabbing is the grading and encapsulation of a coin (or script) by a third party grading service (TPGs). It's mostly popular here in the US and Canada, less popular elsewhere. A coin in a slab is supposed to ensure that a coin is as advertised when offered for sale sight unseen by ebay, auction houses, online sellers, mail order, etc. TPGs are somewhat controversial since there is a certain amount of subjectivity during the grading process and the notion has been seriously abused by fraudulent slabbers. CCF has a whole section on TPGs. http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=84 Report this Post to the Staff

coxspuk New Member United Kingdom 10 Posts	Posted 05/10/2007 09:05 am Putting aside emotional attachments of a particular coin, can anyone suggest what would be the minium value of a coin they would slab? I am thinking about using this process, but the cost is limiting for my humble collection. Report this Post to the Staff
NEAesculus New Member Australia 38 Posts	Posted 09/29/2007 11:15 pm I would probably lean more to the rarity of the coin, as opposed strictly to the value itself. (although there is obviously a correlation between value and rarity). As PCGS and NGC are around $15-$20 I think, I probably wouldn't worry about anything worth less than $100. But with that being said, if I found a new issue that was in particularly high grade that I may only pay a couple of bucks for, I would still send it off. I would only ever use PCGS or NGC. ANACS has sort of become the service to go for if the coin has some sort of damage or unfavourable irregularity to it. I personally would not use any of the the other services.
