<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7809727, member: 110350"][USER=111387]@Herodotus[/USER], I respect your opinions, and it's hardly my job to defend [USER=115909]@Gam3rBlake[/USER], but in this case I think you're being a bit harsh on her. We all know her position on slabs in general, and I suspect the majority of us disagree with her, for a long list of reasons. But this was a different question, limited to the slabbing of what she refers to as "MS" coins. Even though I have my doubts as to whether any ancient coin can truly be "Mint State" under the Sheldon Scale (modified or otherwise), the question of whether high-grade (and, more so, rare and high-value) coins are appropriate for slabbing, for financial and security reasons if nothing else, is certainly not an unheard-of topic for discussion here. And it's hardly unprecedented for people who don't believe in slabbing in general to make an exception for that kind of coin. So raising the question doesn't constitute trolling by itself, I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
