<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Windchild, post: 1647951, member: 44189&quot;]I&#039;ve never seen the first stereotype, as people realize that museums can&#039;t afford to exhibit everything, and private collectors mean more survive in the market. Infact, the opposite is what I find, with people glad that someone, especially a youth, will spend his money to protect these artifacts.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mostly agree with the above, but having slabs would also makes it easier for someone to make the jump into ancient coins. Had I not found this group at the old forum, I wouldn&#039;t have jumped into collecting ancient coins. However, slabs would have made it easier, as I am a US type collector (I rather like slabs for that set, as I haven&#039;t learned grading well... to much time looking up ancients!). </p><p><br /></p><p>I never really said &#039;Thanks&#039; enough... </p><p><br /></p><p>Doug, Anoob, Bing, Dionysos, Eng, DVC, Chrsmat and Steve (yes, you too Steve!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p>:hug:</p><p>:hail::hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
