<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2463841, member: 76086"]This is very true, at least to those of us who think alike. Make no mistake, slabs will not go away and we will have to deal with it at some point. Right now I think since sabbed ancients are in their infancy things will be in flux for some time. Prices all over the board, but I do think things will stabilize eventually. I currently own three slabbed ancients. I bought them that way and as I have a policy not to touch or modify a coin in any way I have left then alone. It will be up to the next owner to decide what to do with them. BUT, I also popped onto Ebay yesterday out of curiosity and saw the same thing as at Heritage. Common coins, sometimes crappy, sometimes nice quality, selling for many times what they really were worth. As a dealer with profit in mind I wonder if I should sell my few slabs that way. I mean, I could realize a better price. After all, those few slabs I have remain unsold after several years despite being priced appropriately. But, my conscience will not allow it. I'll keep them in my inventory as is. Maybe some day I will break them out. I assume their being slabbed is preventing them from being sold?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
