<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1662026, member: 26302"]Well said. If there was a "most likely to start a slab club" ancient coin it would be these. Very popular, very high populations, and most of the value is only in the grade, not really what the coin is. Sound familiar? Yes, I am saying an Athenian Tet is the Morgan dollar of the ancient world. Nothing wrong with that at all, I just worry having such a coin could potentially draw in "condition rarity, slabbed coins" crowd.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw Joe, I wish to apologize for me remarks earlier about your wish to slab your coins. After thinking about it, I don't have the large financial implication to my coins and their grades as you do. I can see why you would wish to ensure protection of your coins considering their expense. My dislike of slabs is not due to a collector like you, mine is more a dislike for fear of them dictating our grading policies, determining what is "acceptable", and taking the physical connection away from collectors. In your specific instance I don't have a problem with it, (not that you gave a crud what I though anyway <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Yes, I am saying an Athenian Tet is the Morgan dollar of the ancient world. Nothing wrong with that at all, I just worry having such a coin could potentially draw in "condition rarity, slabbed coins" crowd. Btw Joe, I wish to apologize for me remarks earlier about your wish to slab your coins. After thinking about it, I don't have the large financial implication to my coins and their grades as you do. I can see why you would wish to ensure protection of your coins considering their expense. My dislike of slabs is not due to a collector like you, mine is more a dislike for fear of them dictating our grading policies, determining what is "acceptable", and taking the physical connection away from collectors.
