<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2013929, member: 15445&quot;]This thread provides a wonderful discussion and analysis of the slab vs raw ancient coin conundrum.&nbsp; Thanks for giving all at CT a good read. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another issue we all face is exactly how we can store, display, and enjoy our ancient coins when the collection consists of both raw &amp; certified examples.&nbsp; Someone here once said that when they buy a raw coin it remains raw in their collection and when they buy a slab it remains in the slab.&nbsp; I have adopted the same approach &amp; <u>now</u> keep my coins in either a 2x2 holder or in the slab that the coin was purchased.&nbsp; &quot;Eagle&quot; makes 3-ring plastic pages that will hold essentially all the different slab types.&nbsp; These Eagle brand pages can be used in the same 3-ring binders as conventional 20 pocket 2x2 pages. Using both these 3-ring pages allows me to display all the coins together.</p><p><br /></p><p>I kind-a sort-a regret removing some ancient coins from their tombs over the last 2-years just to make those few coins fit in my raw collection.&nbsp; <u>Now</u> if I buy an ancient in a slab, it will probably stay in the slab.&nbsp; I think the slab can make the coin more liquid and that will be a plus for the person that someday inherits my coins. Who knows, I may someday want to sell one myself &amp; the slab (if intact) could make that easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>This photo depicts an Eagle brand 3-ring binder page:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]363199[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
