<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1218654, member: 19463&quot;]No, it is a simple fact that most people who hate slabbed ancients are people like you and I who probably have all the ordinary, common, mid grade that we need so we probably would not buy this coin whether it is in the slab or out.&nbsp; I would never suggest anyone paying money to put a coin like this in a slab but once it has been done you don&#039;t get any refund for taking it out and this particular coin would probably appeal more to the target audience for slabbed coins (meaning people who don&#039;t collect ancients to any great degree) than it would to those who hate slabs.&nbsp; I will remove a coin I want from a slab but if I don&#039;t want a coin to the point that I am willing to sell it, I see no reason to remove it and lower its value to those who believe that slabs are collectible.&nbsp; We will have to wait and see the reverse before we know if this is a $45 coin in a free slab or a $25 coin in a $20 slab.&nbsp; For the sake of our OP, lets root for a well struck reverse of an interesting type which both of us would have bought if only the seller had enough sense to picture the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
