[QUOTE="Mat, post: 1185889, member: 21445"]Even though we have another thread on it, I will chime in... I too dont like ancients in slabs, as others pointed out in that thread, the most fun with ancients is holding a piece of 1700+ history. Part of me has ditched collecting U.S. coins because everything is focused on slabs & the high prices with them have turned me off on getting coins I need to finish my u.s. type set. I also dont care for the whole "registry" thing either. I feel its only worth doing if you have bill gate's $$ to throw around. I like holding my coins & I feel the rules that seem to be placed on U.S. coins doesnt allow me to enjoy holding something like my raw EF+ 20c piece. NOW, if some chance I could ever afford gold pieces that are in this threads link, part of me would want them in a slab for protection due to the big bucks those coins are. It would be fun to hold for sure but I guess if I had that money to play with, a "plastic coffin" would make better sense then a 2x2 plastic flip. But for every day silver roman denarii or a $8 late empire bronze, heck no!![/QUOTE]
