<p>[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2273154, member: 76111"]My biggest single problem with slabs is that you cannot examine the entire coin because parts of the edge are covered by all slabs and it could be hiding nasty edge damage such as a test cut. It's also hard to really examine the coin's surfaces through a plastic window. For the edge reason alone, I will almost never buy a slabbed coin anymore unless I have seen what it looked like before slabbing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
