<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 8010277, member: 115909&quot;]Everyone has different opinions on that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some coins I agree. But for others like (for example) gold staters in AU/MS condition or the really really expensive ($20,000+) coins I’ve noticed most are slabbed. I know I wouldn’t want to handle an AU/MS ancient coin because all it takes is one accident and it potentially can lose hundreds of dollars in value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like for very small coins to be slabbed because they are so fragile and easy to damage. Like obols for example or denarii.</p><p><br /></p><p>But again everyone has different opinions and neither one is “absolutely correct” or “absolutely wrong”.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way I see it is that the person who pays for the coin and owns the coin should be able to do whatever they want with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone bought a Syracuse Dekadrachm for $60,000 and wants to drill a hole in it and wear it as a pendant it would break my heart but it’s still their property and they do have that right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
