[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7782500, member: 115909"]Being easy to drop is just one example. Now am I going to drop a Morgan Dollar? Probably not. But a silver Roman denarius? Those are pretty tiny. I could totally see myself dropping one or someone else dropping one if I shared it with them. I also like that the slabs protect my coins from whatever sticky stuff my nephews seem to always have on their hands. & I like that a slabbed coin has been examined by the auction house AND NGC experts. It’s more complicated than just one single reason. I also collect US coins which I collected before ancients and with US coins getting them slabbed is common. It’s just something I like and I feel I should be able to do what I like with my collection without being shamed for it or made to feel like an idiot. When people do that it only causes me to get defensive because they have no right to tell me what to do with my collection just like I would never tell someone what to do with their collection.[/QUOTE]
