<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2441292, member: 76194&quot;]I&#039;ve passed off on slabbed coins in favor of non-slabbed because as an ancient collector each hand-made coin is unique from even other coins that came from the same die, and you learn quickly that you have to evaluate each coin independently instead of on one uniform standard as you would do modern coins. Slabs get in the way of properly evaluating the coins. For me to buy a coin on a slab, it would have to be substantially better than a non-slabbed coin, and then I would just crack it out. I certainly won&#039;t pay more for plastic, so if a dealer is trying to sell me a $50 Roman coin for $80 or $90 to compensate for the slabbing fees, I&#039;ll pass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
