<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2224458, member: 19463&quot;]We can never all agree on the matter of slabbing, handling or selecting coins.&nbsp; Some of us like coins in perfect condition protected from fingers while others of us prefer coins with interesting points not related to their grade.&nbsp; This is no problem because there are so many coins and so few collectors.&nbsp; The problem I see is when a new collector is told that a $10 coin is worth&nbsp; $50 because it is in a slab.&nbsp; It may be easier for him to sell to someone else who chooses to pay rather than study.&nbsp; Is the hobby as a whole better off because coins are packaged in a way that they can be sold by flea market operators rather than by dealers who can provide full service for less than the price of plastic?&nbsp; If you think so, buy slabs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
