Of course there is a difference between grading and slabbing. The problem is that 3rd party grading (such as what ICG offers) automatically comes with slabbing. There are over 70 grades that ICG uses to grade chips .... 11 ICG grades associated with Uncirculated chips. My contention is that there are not 11 grades total across the whole spectrum of casino chips... from the worst doggy chip to the finest known.... much less 11 different grades of uncirculated.
Is there anybody on this bulletin board who agrees with ICG that there are 11 uncirculated grades of casino chips??? (MS60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70) If so, I challenge you to describe the differences.
