Buying Slabbed Sds From Bullion Dealers When They Pick The Year

I suppose that's how they get rid of the less quality strike/eye appeal coins. If it was a great eye appeal coin they would advertise it with a premium on the actual value not throw it in the "random date" bin.

Words of wisdom over and over on this site: Buy the COIN, not the holder.

If you cannot see it in hand and inspect the coin, you don't know what you are getting. Yes, there IS most definitely SOME degree of trustworthiness with buying a slabbed coin, especially for fakes. However, do a search for errors made by these companies, review the facts that once a coin is cracked from a slab, it is never guaranteed to be the same grade once again (grading is a subjective process),and people have been, for years, re-submitting coins they cracked out until they get the higher grade they want (for coins that are close).

If your money is important to you, buy the coin, not the slab.



Also remember different companies use different standards!
