<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1906062, member: 44357&quot;]Here it is on a plain background.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I use my coins as the desktop background on my various devices and I like the reflections, but I also appreciate other approaches (i.e. what Roma does with their blue felt background for featured lots). I&#039;ve had a number of people say they absolutely love the reflections, and some people that don&#039;t like them at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am curious as to the opinions of the other members here as to if they prefer plain backgrounds vs the reflections, but I suppose it&#039;s a case of if you ask 10 people for an opinion, you&#039;ll end up with at least 10 different answers.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y342/AncientJoe/Nerva_zpse6754d28.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t, and I&#039;ve already disposed of the entirety of the slab (insert included). I suppose NGC might re-slab it as I have the auction pictures when it was encapsulated, but when it does come time to sell, today&#039;s slabs likely won&#039;t be relevant even if European bidders <i>are </i>buying slabbed coins at that point. US coins have proven this fact: every handful of years, PCGS/NGC change their slab types and coins in newer slabs are valued differently (like the &quot;Secure Plus&quot; designation which shows the surfaces haven&#039;t been doctored - it&#039;s a fantastic way to force everyone to pay for re-grading fees). I went so far as to crack out US coins when I was collecting them - I&#039;d rather keep them raw up until it came time to sell them, then get them in the newest holders, rather than pay re-grading fees along the way for consistency in my collection. This worked very well and saved me substantial sums fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if in XX years when I or my heirs sell my collection, if slabbing is in vogue, they may end up in some futuristic hologram 3D laser encapsulation by whichever company is popular at that time, or they&#039;ll still be raw.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
