<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1406526, member: 28550&quot;]I do wonder what the long term effects of slabbing will be on our hobby. Especially as slabs are currently wrapped around a significant portion of the high end coins. It could be that slabs cause damage to the same degree as coin trays did in the 19th century (the reason that many high-grade coins collected in that period have wear on one side is due to friction as they rubbed against the felt surface). </p><p><br /></p><p>But, all told, slabs may offer superior protection to most other storage techniques. There&#039;s not much that a 5-year-old grandson can do to a slabbed coin. And slabs do a very, very good job of protecting against a burst water pipe or spilled coffee mug.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
