Jerry Amen to the profound statement that when you marry her, she's no longer your girlfriend. I too have a 1908 NM Saint, slabbed; and my only comment is that it is a common enough coin and that you should stretch (and be patient) for the best grade and best eye appeal that you can afford. oly |

Slabbed is a term coin collectors and dealers use to identify a coin that has been graded by a third party grading service and encapsulated in a holder. The four major accepted grading services are PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG. Any of the others are considered questionable. Jerry |

Jerry- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Note that I didn't specify who the first two (and only two) were [so you can't "agree" with me, my being careful not to say anything like what you distinctly stated]; but if you see a coin that is not in one of the top two slabs, one's first question is "what is wrong with the coin(s) that it (they) aren't properly slabbed??? Maybe there isn't a problem, but typically there is something. IMHO, there is very very very clearly a first and a second slab company as well. oly |
