[QUOTE="greyfang, post: 35738, member: 1864"]I was hoping someone could comment on a thought I had concerning slabbed statehood quarters. Obviously silver will tarnish more easily than clad. Right? Here is my concern. A slabbed PR-70 quarter with a silver finish, might take on a tone through the holder, since they aren't airtight, or even from sunlight through the holder? Agree Disagree? So to me I am thinking that PR-70 SILVER slabbed coins carry a dangerous premium vs. their Clad cousins because they will be much more fragile. I am deciding whether or not to go down the Clad or Silver path. There is a huge difference in price between PR-69 and PR-70, and I am wondering if this difference is noticeable to the naked eye. However I see little slab price difference between silver vs. clad. ANYWAY COMMENTS FROM THOSE IN THE KNOW ARE APPRECIATED. I ASK BECAUSE I AM AN AMATEUR. THANKS IN ADVANCE.[/QUOTE]
