Message:: [QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7325024, member: 110350"]I understand. And I also understand that if I ever had to sell my collection -- which I hope I never have to do -- and did so through an auctioneer like Stack's or Heritage, the coins would almost certainly have to be slabbed first. (Just as Stack's slabbed all my reasonably valuable British coins and medals that I had sold them before auctioning them off.) Unless and until that happens, I personally believe that the aesthetic drawbacks of slabbing far outweigh any benefits. Especially since, out of about 250 ancient coins, I have at most only two or three worth > $1,000.  Everybody here is speaking only for themselves, and the OP can weigh the pros and cons and make his or her own decision.[/QUOTE]
