<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carthago, post: 2446746, member: 76111&quot;]I am a high end collector and I cannot see a day I would have my coins in slabs as Eids also mentioned.&nbsp; I buy stabbed coins sometimes and&nbsp; crack them out.&nbsp; And no, I&#039;m never going to return the label to NGC because I don&#039;t care what they think.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I look at slabs like oysters.&nbsp; I only care about what&#039;s inside and if I&#039;m motivated enough, I&#039;ll shuck them.&nbsp; If I&#039;m unsure of the contents (aka, know the coin inside the ghastly plastic case) I won&#039;t buy it because I&#039;ve been screwed with hidden rim damage on slabs ancients and I won&#039;t make that mistake again. I don&#039;t think slabs are worth getting too exercised about and tha Carausius keenly points that out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for you Barry, you are famous at least for a bit so enjoy it.&nbsp; I bought some of your books in the CNG auction.&nbsp; Also sorry your business didn&#039;t work out.&nbsp; I worry constantly about the future of mine so I get it and mean that genuinely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
