One thing I'll point out is that I see variety collectors tending to micrograde coins. We're so use to scrutinizing coins under magnification, that we forget the grading of coins is mostly about the coins naked-eye appeal. Graders look at the coin. They don't put them under microscopes. When they use magnification, it's usually 5x.
The biggest problem with buying slabbed coins is that the coin probably DID grade that when it was put in the slab, which could have been a decade ago. The ONLY way to guarantee you are buying what you think you're buying is to buy from a source who knows the coins, knows how to grade, and guarantees them...regardless of whether the coin is slabbed.
