raw or slabbed

I have been thinking about slabbing a coin, but then I think why. What good does it do to spend $30 to get a coin graded

1. If it's a rare coin, the experts can authenticate it (best reason to slab).
2. If you plan on selling it in the near future, it helps bring a better price, assuming it's graded correctly.
Other than that, no good reason I can think of.

Depends on the coin. Depends on the collector. Depends upon what you are planning to do with it.

.................depends what you want to do with the coin. if its just for your collection, and you enjoy it...keep it raw......however if you plan to sell the coin, slab it....most likely it will sell for more...since few today know how to grade.......

What kind of question is that, from the son of a dealer in high grade coins?
We know you're "Son of The Snake" but we know little more. Are you a collector? Dealer? What is this coin? Maybe we can help.

I'm more of a dealer. The coin I'm thinking of slabbing is a realy realy cool 1909 vdb lincoln with nice toning, or a 1898 indian with allso realy nice toning, but I think the indian has been cleaned.
There are good points on both sides of this dilemma but at least the pros will put a guarantee behind what they say.

What do you think they will grade when slabbed. If you think they will grade high enough to make a good profit I would slab them... if the coin is only going to be worth $30-40 slabbed, I wouldn't waste my time. Also... if the toning is really wild slabbing might be a good idea.

If you are a dealer, you have to think in terms of expense/profit, cost/benefit as your only motivation for slabbing. You should already have a good idea of what grade it should come back and whether it is cleaned or not, how much it would sell for before/after slabbing and on and on. Otherwise, you are kidding yourself aboutt the dealer part.
