<p>[QUOTE="Coinut, post: 1408204, member: 29725"]Ok, I understand there are a lot of folks that just love slabs. To know with out, well, MUCH of a doubt that what they have is real, the grade is set, value can be ascribed to a pretty good degree that the coin is what it is. I,however, am of the opposite side on this, ah, debate shall we say. There is something about a raw coin, in it's natural state that has charm, has allure to it. To hold something going back in time to the depression to the birth of America and beyond is something that cannot be put into words, or should I say words do it no justice. Just by holding the coin I am part of it's history. This is something that just does not come from holding a piece of plastic. </p><p>Now, I truly understand why slabs can be appealing, I can and I am not knocking those that believe in slabs. I just thought I might offer something from the raw side. So, I ask, how many prefer their coin collecting raw?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
