<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1382448, member: 66"]This is a personal opinion of mine and is from the judging viewpoint. Part of the criteria for the judging is appearance. To me I have never liked slabs in an exhibit. They are clunky, take up a lot of room and frankly people see the slab not the coin, even if you raise it up to get it closer to the glass. Even worse is a mixing of companies, types of slabs, and different generations. The exhibit needs to have a nice neat appearance and the mishmash of different slabs to me is very distracting. (It would be like having the text write-up for each piece in a different size and type of font.) It is much better to have all of the slabs from the same company and generation of holder. I know in a lot of cases that is not practical (unless all of the coins are already slabbed by the same company). And don't mix raw and slabbed, all of one or all of the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
