<p>[QUOTE="scooterv, post: 1774317, member: 56677"]I agree with you there, 100%. The value of the coin hasn't changed. However, morgandude also had good points, and I think from just a general perspective there is value in a slab. The coin hasn't changed, but if it has value to any possible buyer then it's value. If it can act as a sort of insurance, then it's value. If it increases liquidity, then it's value.</p><p> </p><p>It may not always be a "good" value of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I built my approaching retirement by investing in stocks. Just an amateur there as well, but I spend hours and days pouring over financial reports to find undervalued gems. It has paid off over the years. Yet, all else being equal, there's a big difference between a rarely traded stock, and one with high daily volume. The bid/ask spread is huge on low volume stocks.

I also agree with morgandude, if it's the SAME coin, it has added value if slabbed even if it's only a matter of a faster sale. I also DO enjoy the conversation and learning while I digest all of this!! Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
