A&nbsp; slabbed coin might also protect the coin from the brother if he&#039;s rough&nbsp; or clumsy with things in general OR if you want to protect a really top&nbsp; quality example that you are giving him. A slabbed example <i>might</i>&nbsp; also help resell value beyond the bullion value of the coin-- not that&nbsp; he&#039;d seek to sell such a special gift, but you never know. </p><p><br /></p><p>A slabbed coin could be carried around in a coat or coat&#039;s vest pocket&nbsp; as easily as a raw coin could become a pocket piece. The problems with&nbsp; carrying a pocket piece is that you could potentially loose it sometime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
