<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 624142, member: 4552"]I see examples of this all the time at coin shows. Lately about 50% of all coins at these shows are slabbed. Usually when I find a normal, not rare, coin in a slab that interest me, I tell the dealer I'm not about to spend money on that coin just because someone slabbed it. They usually go down substantially in price. True I've seen many coins for far less than the slab fees alone. One reason I feel is the many people that actually collect coins in slabs. I've talked to people at coin shows that tell me they have hundreds and hundreds of slabbed coins and even the very latest ones. </p><p>The ones that really get me are the latest coins worth less than a dollar in a slab. I guess that in about a few hundred years those too would be worth something. </p><p>As for me I have no slabbed coins. When I do buy them, I open them and put the coin in an Album.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
