6 Reason NOT To EVER Buy Slabbed Coins

[@Astinsan]

Sonically sealed can be simulated with solvents. Most of these plastic cases are made from styrene. Mek can be used to fuse the case. It will look like a sonically welded box. I think weight might be one of the best ways to check for a fake clamshell. Next use a caliper to measure the case and coin placement area. How to fix the industry? Use plastic formulas with a trace element in the mix. Would make testing easy. Change the formula every year or more. Make serial numbers cross reference that trace marker. So many things that can be done. Easiest way to talk them into changing is pitch it to them as another service a person can buy in advance of getting a grade. Case marker verification. Have a overnight authentic check service. Makes it easy for the seller to ease someone’s second thoughts.. also let the grading company make some scratch on the side.

Once you start talking about slabs and “sonic sealing” and styrene and MEK and welding you are no longer a collector, but a speculator. A money grubber. A profit seeker. You are no longer a hobbyist, but a peddler. End of rant.

I was lucky enough to find three of good truthful local coin dealers to keep me out of trouble in my beginning looking for slabs. You would have been on my list.

[@paulgoss1371]

I prefer my coins graded in slabs mainly because I know exactly what they are worth and I have a solid starting point in negotiating the sale of the coins. Plus the added advantage of the coins being protected. And I’m not a fan of toned coins whatsoever. Raw coins are fine and I have a lot of them but it’s anybody’s guess what they’re worth without a 3rd party grading service certifying them. NGC is my favorite because I like their holders the best but I have my share of PCGS slabs too.

[@roystroble3354]

Your slabbed will tone and then what, value drops

[@elchurrito]

It's a lot of thinks you need considering before You Buy a coin no matter what if is graded by pcgs por ngc. Not because the pcgs, ngc holder say that the coin it's in a ms64 You will pay the price. Espacially if You Buy a rare coin. Ejample : if You Buy a common Morgan cc ms65 low end probably You are pay for a ms64 high end cc. But the pcgs company give a ms65 beacuse de eey appeal not because it's a ms65. Thats what we call over grade. They are more conservative when they grade a rare coin . Thats why i allways Say ,Buy the coin not the holder. It's a lot of places (like this chanell ) You can learn to spot a well graded coin.

Sometimes the older slabs even get a premium because people say they graded more conservatively back then. So what might have been given an MS64 grade back in the 1980s might get an MS65 today. Sometimes that one grade can increase values by ALOT of money.

[@pmafterdark]

You threw me a curve. At first I thought you were just going to say to stay away from slabbed coins period. I can understand and agree with your 6 reasons.

[@LOVE2Flute]

Thanks! I’m a brand newbie at touching coins. I actually took a hammer to a slabbed coin trying to break it out so I could place it in an awards type gift box. I stopped and decided to check your videos out before going any further. Gosh I’m such a dork. Well it’s a gift to my son; I’ll just give him my untampered one. No harm no foul. Thank you for the lesson. If I would have broken the case open, what would that have done to the authenticity or certification of the coin. All bets off?!?

[@Jamesvandaele]

Most people who buy coins don't really know the value of an unslabbed coin. They increase the value of higher end coins and it's hard to sell an ungraded coin over 2x gold value or 5x silver value or more than $200 on base metal. But for me, the biggest problem with graded coins is simply the extra cost that has to be added to offset the cost of grading. If you are buying the coin for the coin, then buy the coin. Slabs are used to hoodwink buyers into buying the markup unessicarily. Whereas from a business perspective it makes sense because that is where the market is, you still are forced to upsell the holder and not the coin.

[@heidigib01]

Wow, that’s low, people making fake slabs! That’s my security blanket shredded! Thanks for the info, but how can we verify? How do we know?

[@willweed6168]

Yeah I got a good friend, he has been a coin dealer over 20 years that got burned, about 5 years ago, on about 20 fake slabbed common date mercury dimes , he showed me, he said since they were common dates vs key dates , he let his gaurd down and failed to inspect them as closely as he would have if they were key dates.....I think he lost about $120 bucks or so on that deal.....I have not forgotten that

[@willweed6168]

@Blake no doubt. I picked one up from Ebay and it looked like the label was a fake and the coin had a huge scratch on it. The seller told me that is the reason for the MS69 lol. Sorry but it doesn't work that way so just return my bread.

[@hankmoody7974]

@Blake Luckily it's getting harder. PCGS now has NFC built into all new slabs for extra verification.

[@hankmoody7974]

@Blake I mean right, that's why I said "it's getting harder". Gold Shield has been around for a while, and both NGC and PCGS have photos of coins for a bit extra for quite a while. Fakes are usually pretty easy to spot. I've only been paying attention to coins again (for the first time since I was a kid) for about 6 months, and I can pretty easily spot most fakes they show in vids, even for coins/products I've never seen before.

Take a MS70 coin graded by one of the top tier companies and compare it to their MS69 coin and tell me the difference. And if the coin is scarce or rare, the point differential value can be enormous. I've been collecting error coins and you see people selling a common coin and listing it as rare. I know the difference but there are a lot of relatively new collectors who will pounce on the ad. They can't do that if it's slabbed. Good vid, although you are throwing around terms like dimple, etc. that could confuse new collectors.

GREAT VIDEO DANIEL KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MY FRIEND

[@Stack_Silver]

I know this is an older video and maybe your view has change, maybe not. But I find the most typical person who dislikes slabs are dealers. While I am quite comfortable determining coin grades and don’t require a slabbed and graded coin for certainty,, many people are not and rely on propley graded coins in authentic slabs from reputable grading services that typiclly provide an accurate assesment of the coin’s condition. Now back to my comment about dealers, and please understand I am not saying ALL dealers but many I have personally dealt with over the decades at shows and in shops in my years of travelling to buy and sell coins, I have met an unscrupulous amount of dealers. Dealers who who would rather underpay for an ungraded coin that they insist is a lower condition (when it it not), than rather be presented with a slabbed coin from a PCGS or an NGC for example, and puts a detour to a blockade to their under-assessing coin condition practice. So for many, I say stack those slabs.

[@mitchdickson254]

Your forgetting a couple other reasons not to slab. First, slabbed coins are NOT for collectors. They are for people who don't know anything about coins!!! Those who need others to tell them if it's real and to grade it for them. Collectors don't need any of that. They can grade it themselves and that $30 piece of plastic is just in the way! Plus, you can sell your coins for $40 less if they are not slabbed and make the same money!!! If the dealer wants to drop money on a slab, let him ;) To me, if it's not going north of $150 forget the slab. Even then, if I can get $125 unslabbed and he can get $150 slabbed, I am better off :)

Is JM Bullion a good place to buy silver ?

[@CoinHELPu]

Yes, but a local dealer might have better prices.

[@TheDurnans]

I am not a coin collector who likes to look at the coin through plastic. I like to hold it, weigh it, etc. I can see where some people might like their coins verified, but then it's in a plastic container never to be held again. It's like a little coin zoo. It takes the coin out of its natural habitat.

I agree!

Do you know about the NGC & PCGS slabbed coin scanning app & if so...what’s your take on them 🤔 ?

[@CoinHELPu]

No I don't

[@leviorourke7498]

Guys at my coin club encourage NGC and pcgs. I'm going to get a platinum membership at pcgs. Is it worth paying for 2 membership for ngc as my secondary grade or anacs as a secondary company?

I have two and I do the gold, it's a better value over-all.

I assembled a set of PR-66 Liberty Nickels 20+ years ago. I have watched them steadily decrease in value over this time, one, because the market hasn't been great for non-gold or non-silver coins AND two, they are finding more high grade coins that increase the population and decrease the value. I do believe there is a fair amount of "churning" where folks are removing coins from slabs and resubmitting them, which increases the population count (but not the actual population.) And, my pretty PR-66 coin is nice but it isn't CAM or several of the other new "premium designations" that are popping up. So, they remain in the bank vault for some future generation.

[@richardweil8813]

That's too bad but these sets can be cyclical and return to popularity; a long view is frustrating though. Classical silver commemoratives (1892-1954) collapsed from their highs in the 1980s but may be coming back. If you set includes the key dates (1885, 1886, 1912-S) those should hold up over time.

Hello Really enjoy your UT streams… If I would send you some coins? Would It be cost affective for you send in for grading? Thanks Wayne

I do not accept coin submissions nor submit coins for people to grade. You have to do that.

I believe the treasure was found by the 3 guys that originally did the digging by hand. They divided it up and didn't tell anyone. My opinion only.

[@leviorourke7498]

@@kennethlarsen4805 it's possible. Either way I'm stoked to know for sure about the deal money pit. But, I really like all they are finding as to relics and structures. Those pieces of history are treasures for sure. Either way let's wait see who they prove left the treasure and who built such an elaborate system to protect a treasure, and what was so important
