<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2948166, member: 77704&quot;]After carefull thought, I have come to the realization that slabbing is not all bad. First, the coins are authenticated/ have all defects like tooling/ cleaning/ hairlines/ etc. listed on slab/ so to avoid these coins. Second/ they are safely set in a holder/ no exposure to the elements/ handling/ any accidental damage. So, your MS-66 1812-A Napoleon AV 20 Francs will forever stay a perfect 66<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> However, the grading is a little lax....esp. for hammered coinage/ some MS-63/64 example show wear from handling in past.</p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
