I think slabbed coins are the best thing next to...

...kool-aid!

I can appreciate the guarantee of authenticity from the top grading cos. and for the most part, the grades are dead on.

I don't agree with marketing schemes like first strike, but it seems it is the consumers who want it.

Except cheap junk like ASCG and other crud like that.

Collectors should know who to deal with and who not to deal with.
TKC!

Wanna drink a bit more?? Get real. Slabs have made quite a few problems. I think they have been disscussed before.

That depends upon how you define "dead."

If the grades were as uncontroversial as you claim, the vast majority of collector coins would trade like orange juice and pork bellies. They don’t because there are enough slabs out there that are just “dead” to leave some profit margins for those who have grading skills.

And there would be almost no such thing as crackouts.
