<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alwayslost, post: 202223, member: 7155&quot;]inre jaytant, by reading your location I can only guess that you are refering to Columbus or the immediate area. Go Bucks!</p><p><br /></p><p>About your question about the slab. Already, when two identical coins in the top grade are sold at auction, the PCGS always commands the higher price. The toys I received at Christmas when I was a tyke command very high prices today and a far larger amount if they are in the original box. My point is that there is value in packaging. Value is determined by how many people want something and the slab adds a level of confidence to the unsophisticated collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO coin collecting in the US will not go the way of the tulip (flower) catastrophe that happened in Holland a few hundred years ago. There is a solid demand and the hobby is considered patriotic by most but there is something to be said for the &quot;slabs&quot;. I only commented because when I read different coin forums most think to buy the coin and not the slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
