Anything that dissolves in that isn't a real gem. Good luck If you feel like sending me a gem feel free - or else 10 points would suffice - good luck...

You can also buy plastic slabs on Ebay and put any coin you want in them. Doesn't mean they're valid I hope you're joking. You can also buy plastic slabs on Ebay and put any coin you want in them.

The future of the coin is how the coin looks as well as how rare it is. Grading is not a science and all the services have screwed up or gave their wrong opinion as to grade. Proof is breaking out a coin from it's slab and sending it back too who graded it and it comes back a higher or lower grade. This happens more than we know. You need to learn to grade coins at least a little. If a coin has a nice strike, nice eye appeal and no hairline scratches it will continue to go up in value, in or out of a slab. The slabs are not airtight, so one must be careful of storage. I am not against slabbed coins by the top grading services, one just has to be a little aware of things. Also grading standards have changed since PCGS and NGC started slabbing coins. Coins in their old holders may grade different. Also keep away from modern coins that grade proof 70 or MS-69, there are a lot of them out there and this first strike thing is a gimmick. Also I believe, the standards have gone down not up. Just my observations over the years. Forget the slab. The future of the coin is how the coin looks as well as how rare it is.
