The slab will have a label indicating the coin's type, mint mark and grade as well as an identifying number. Some companies will also include additional information as to whether or not the coin has been cleaned, damaged or otherwise impaired. -- Bob Hairgrove |

When you buy a slabbed coin from someone
else, make sure that the plastic surface isn't all scratched up...It's hard to resell them. I put my slabs in separate baggies. |

NGC, ANACS and ICG are also all top companies. Most others, be careful. -- Michael R AKA mrae7 on Ebay/Yahoo ANA #173222 |
