<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 694884, member: 5233&quot;]I disagree.&nbsp; I think what bhp3rd said is true for modern commemoratives...but slabs have their place.&nbsp; Would you buy a $5000 coin raw?&nbsp; I certainly wouldn&#039;t.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t even buy one I knew a lot about the coin.&nbsp; If I was going to add a 1893-S Morgan to my collection it would be in a slab...I am 100% confident I could pick out an authentic raw one, but I still want that insurance.&nbsp; Do I care if I ever own a graded ASE...no, but I want high end key coins slabbed and so do many collectors.&nbsp; For this reason alone, the TPGs are here to stay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, when you say crack out and &quot;put coins in what it should be&quot; what does that even mean?&nbsp; Coins are meant to be spent...not put in any kind of container.&nbsp; Putting a coin in a 2x2 or in it&#039;s original packaging is just as unnatural as a slab IMHO so what difference does it make.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not a huge fan of slabbed coins, 99% of my collection is raw.&nbsp; But I do have some in slabs and those will remain there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
