<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benhur767, post: 5000746, member: 36818&quot;]I would leave modern coins in slabs. One of the charms of collecting ancient coins is their irregularity. Slabs tend to hide and obscure that aspect of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, none of my other ancients are slabbed, and raw and slabbed ancients don&#039;t play well together in terms of storage, display, and if I just want to look at them side-by-side.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I had that EID MAR that recently broke auction records I&#039;d probably leave it slabbed. But I think whoever purchased that did so as an investment, and they&#039;d lose money if they took it out of the slab. I know that if I dropped that kind of money on a slabbed ancient it would bring me little joy. It would be about the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin I just posted might lose some resale value because it&#039;s no longer slabbed, but I don&#039;t care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
