      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.

    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.

      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.

  • @Jamesvandaele
    @Jamesvandaele 4 года назад +4

    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.

      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.

    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.

    If you were going to slab coins, shouldn't the slab be filled with inert fluid (like clear oil) to keep the coins from oxidizing?
    i.e., to keep tarnish/toning from affecting the silver and especially for copper where RED will turn to BROWN.

      @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.

    Just left a comment/message on another video asking if there is a way to scan a barcode on a nongraded slabbed coin from a well known buisnesses? like the Bradford slabbed coins?
    Great Video my friend,you've giving me so much useful info on so many different subjects in the coin collection world..!!!...Keep them coming..!!!

      No, there's no way to scan, not a real grading service. Thanks!

    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.

      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.

    I’ve always been somewhat skeptical of some of the big name coin sellers grading their coins. Maybe over grading them to make a sale. This confirms me suspicion that it’s true. Thanks Dan. Great video.

    Thank you Daniel . I like Slabbed coins . I have made more money buying raw coins and cherry pick the best ones to have graded . I agree the grading companies need to catch up with the times and have better grading standards . So we don't have over graded and under graded coins , which make a Big price difference on key date coins . I hope everyone has Great Luck Buying , Selling and Collecting coins .

    Paid $1,050.00 for raw Huguenot Walloon in 1985 (dealer graded ms-65). Had it sent in for pcgs grading 1988. It came back a ms-66! Sold it to the same dealer I bought it from for $6,000.00. Would like to hear other collector's experiences.

    I only buy slabbed coins (or coins from the mint and send them in for grading), but I do agree with a lot in this video.

    • @cardaveux

      I do the opposite. No slabbed coins in my collection but i live in Switzerland and slabbed coins are not popular/common in my country.

    I bought two proof slabbed pennies at a local antique shop, a 1958 and a 1960 wheat. Unfortunately the 1960 shows no signs of doubling but I'm still happy. Both are NGS certified ms 67s and plan on keeping them.

    O and I just sent my 1st PCGS raw coins off, and I am like you I would prefer that it be something I found, that I like, and it's my coin looking back at me through that slab rewarding me for my coin roll hunting efforts 😊.

  • @ronschneider1870
    @ronschneider1870 4 года назад +2

    Good morning Daniel! To buy or not to buy slabbed coins is the question! Everyone is different! I buy slabbed coins for the reason that they will always provide the best protection for the coins. If its good enough for the serious collector, it's good enough for me! Your most expensive and rarest coins are in slabbed holders in the highest grades!

    I learned my lesson on an anacs 1889cc, they were very rare, couldn't even find them except in ag03, so I bought this from a dealer online I had good luck with previously. well I dropped it and the slab just popped open and a week later they started popping up all over in roughly the same grade in ANACS holders, I've had it for years, I guess it's about to send it in to see if it's even real.

    Nice exploration of slabbing... mention of breathing and sneezing is an interesting one, especially when watching video of NGC graders at work without masks! How is that happening? I've owned slabbed coins for decades, and when I purchased them they were GEM, and now all these years later they have spots, clearly they were breathed upon, either by the original owner or the grader. The coin dealer from whom I regularly bought coins back in the day warned me of this, so if possible I try to buy coins slabbed many years ago. I do wonder how many years after being slabbed a coin can reasonably be declared SAFE from the potential for spots showing up.

      I agree, Daniel & Robert both have taught me more than everyone else on the web and off. When I have a question I don't go looking around for answers, lord only knows what you'll hear. I just go to CoinHELPu and chances are Daniel already has something on RUclips about it. If not I'll check out Robert, I would almost bet one or both of them has plenty to teach someone willing to listen and learn.
