<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 4507920, member: 76965&quot;]I think a slab would definitely increase the value of a coin. Why? Simple, more people would be interested in something that has been authenticated by an expert and the novices like me would also buy a coin they would not otherwise dare to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone be 100% sure that a coin is genuine simply by looking at photos. I bet no one (even on this forum) can say that they can. Also while a lower end coin’s value might not be damaged significantly, imagine a softer metal (gold) ancient in a slab without a scratch and one removed and subsequent scratched. Why take the risk?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a few which are not slabbed but the ones I find expensive, at least for my modest budget, are always slabbed and shall remain so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I will duck for cover while the contra opinions flow <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
