Respectfully Denis, you are forgetting the 2 most important,
most valuable components of buying a graded & slabbed coin.
Specifically, I
mean: (1.) An opinion of authenticity, and (2.) An opinion of grade.
Of course, a
collector my disagree with one (or both) of those opinions, but nevertheless
someone at some point in that coin's existence paid money to purchase those two
opinions. As long as the coin remains in its tamper-evident slab, that is part
of the "bundle of goods" that a collector purchases when they
purchase a slabbed coin.
