It would be cheaper in the long run, and less traumatic, to buy them 'raw' and have a professional grade them. I stress 'expensive' coins. Anyone who buys a coin worth less than $100.00 in a slab is, in my opinion, a fool. regards, Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 03/28/2008 2:14 pm The only ANACS slab I've purchased would be the "old new" style and was shocked when it snapped quite easily with a simple twist by hand. I assume the "new new" style is a bit tougher. Muckeye, Like many of us, I "buy the coin, not the slab," and if the coin I want and like the look of happens to be in a slab, I'll buy it in a slab; and if it's raw, I'll buy it that way. I prefer buying raw, but if the price is right I won't let plastic stand in the way. Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't. I bought the coin. quote: Surely unslabbed coins are available. Of course unslabbed coins are available. But that means you should avoid a buying opportunity because the coin is in a slab? quote: Don't buy work for yourselves and don't support a 'slabbing' industry that you don't seem to want or agree with. You consider cracking a coin out of plastic work? Who said I don't agree with the slabbing industry? quote: The simple answer is don't buy mail order. I choose to buy coins from ebay as well as from trusted dealers and coins shows. There are advantages with both, so I utilize both. quote: If you can afford expensive coins cultivate a reputable dealer. Or rather buy from sources that are right for YOU, the individual buyer. quote: Anyone who buys a coin worth less than $100.00 in a slab is, in my opinion, a fool. So if someone buys a certified coin with a market value of say, $50 and they pay $50, they're a fool? Report this Post to the Staff
