<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coolhandred, post: 2224498, member: 73341&quot;]I crack every slabbed ancient coin I acquire.&nbsp; A while ago I was in a friends shop when he mentioned he had picked up a couple of slabbed ancients in a collection he had recently purchased.&nbsp; He knew I liked ancients and he offered them to me at a fair price.&nbsp; After I gave him the money for the coins I proceeded to crack them open right there and then in his shop using a bolt cutter I keep in my truck.</p><p><br /></p><p>I offered a similar testament, ( as stated above), that the coins have been in circulation for eons and slabbing them made absolutely no sense.&nbsp; Nothing was mint state, and actually handling them would cause them no harm.&nbsp;&nbsp; As mentioned most ancients were found in the ground, and not a mint bag or bank vault.</p><p><br /></p><p>He still seemed perplexed, but he now knows where I am coming from.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
