FORMER SENIOR MANAGING

DIRECTOR OF BEAR STEARNS

BEWARE OF THE SLABBED COIN

Each year, millions of
coins are submitted to companies that provide opinions as to their grade.  They grade and encapsulate them in hard
plastic holders—(slabs).  The
buying and selling of encapsulated coins has itself become a lucrative
market.  In recent months it has
come to light that collector coins are increasingly being widely counterfeited
and the slabs themselves are being mass-counterfeited.  And when a coin is in a slab, there is
no way to touch it and tell for oneself that it is the genuine article—one must
rely on the reputation of the grading service and hope that the slab itself is
not a counterfeit.  What does it
mean to touch a coin?

Sixty-one years ago, when I was just 8 years old, I was buying and
sorting through rolls of coins from the local banks.  Countless thousands
of cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves, and other coins have trickled
through my fingers.  Over the years I built up a substantial inventory and
eventually started my own business.  The physical handling of each coin
reveals a wealth of information.  I learned about the “feel” of
a coin.  Today, nearly all the coin books warn us not to handle coins—they
might get soiled, fingerprinted, or worse, dropped on a hard surface and
damaged!  Instead we have developed all manner of holders, inert plastic
sleeves, and hard plastic shells to contain our coins.  With each step, we
have further removed ourselves from the most critical aspects of those
coins—how they feel in our hands, weigh, sound, and glimmer in varying degrees
of light.  Today I am an eBay Power Seller, [ralpht.foster] and have a solid
five-figure volume each month.  Yet most of my coins are still sold near
the melt value of their metallic content. 

I question the almost universal obsession with these
holders.  Whenever I encounter a coin encapsulated in plastic—regardless
of who put it there—I have to wonder as to its authenticity.  In my
experience I have seen many long-time dealers fooled and defrauded by some of
the latest slabbed counterfeits—in holders bearing the names of established
reputable grading companies.  A true coin will always ring true—long after
slabs, grading services and eBay itself have passed into history.©  The March 29th 2010 Coin
World posted an article indicating that the New York State Senate is
considering a consumer protection bill where coins, including certified
“slabbed” coins can be opened and removed from their packaging to
established authenticity.  In December, 2010 even I was contacted by a United States Secret Service Agent, as even I had become a victim of a counterfeiter.
