<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrsmat71, post: 1909097, member: 42634&quot;]well, I&#039;ve enjoyed reading and lurking on this thread.&nbsp; some thoughts..</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also purchased&nbsp;&nbsp; a slabbed coin when I first started also, but as a gift for my uncle.&nbsp; it was a little rough LRB coin, but wasn&#039;t that much.</p><p><br /></p><p>i would purchased a slabbed ancient coin now, if the price was the same as what i would pay outside of the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>the last coin show i went to, a guy had some slabbed ancients..when he figured out i was an ancient collector, he said &quot;oh, you probably don&#039;t want those do you..here are my non-slabbed coin.&quot; pulled out another box he had behind the counter, found a couple nice denari.</p><p><br /></p><p>was also surprised by &quot;stay away from the internet&quot; comment.&nbsp; for the low intensity amateur collector like myself, it&#039;s been a godsend.&nbsp; wouldn&#039;t have got past a few coins without finding some forums and some friendly, knowledgably folks to help me and share coins with. I&#039;m much more nervous about buying coins at a show where i can&#039;t get online and research a coin, or shoot it buy some of you folks if I&#039;m uncertain about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
