The advantage of a PCGS slab is the buyer confidence that it is authentic, not cleaned or altered in any way, and properly graded. Negative is the cost and time it takes to get it graded. Happy to help if you would like. Pat Report this Post to the Staff

Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 02/25/2013 7:20 pm There are fake coins and fake slabs... some better than others... that one is a poor effort. Report this Post to the Staff

Jphillips224 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 09:59 am Took it to a local coin shop yesterday. A few people used their expert opinion to confirm the authenticity and also agree with the given grade.After a little haggling, we finished at $1075 after he admitted he has never had one and would personally like it for his collection. I didn't accept the offer, but he left it on the table and I plan on taking it today. Is this is a good play considering I can get over 4 figures without spending the extra money and time on a new slab? Report this Post to the Staff
Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 10:07 am Below bid if not cleaned and worth more if graded so by PCGS... but not a bad price if there is a risk that coin will not cross to PCGS. Very good price if coin has been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
Jphillips224 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 10:30 am The coin was given to me by my grandmother who was a coin freak. I am almost certain the coin wasn't cleaned or tarnished in any way. The people at the coin shop agreed as well. With that said, is this still a good deal? Report this Post to the Staff
Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 02/26/2013 11:14 am JP - you have to make that call. Without seeing the coin in hand I double any of us can give any more specific opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
