[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1344023, member: 15929"]While this is true, today's breed of collector does place a certain collectible premium on different slab "types" which is what these offerings are. Sample Slab collecting has had a significant increase in interest over the past couple of years. For Silver Eagles, the coins are all the same, readily available, and except for the fluctuating price of bullion silver, very affordable for nice looking coins. Personally, in leiu of building a "Slabbed Silver Eagle Set", I've chosen to build a Silver Eagle Slab Variety Set so I did purchase one of those Mercanti coins. There are several other slab types which I still need to purchase but all in due time. [COLOR=#ff0000]edited[/COLOR] Will my set be valuable in the future? Probably not but today I find it interesting. A Lot more interesting than chasing MS/PR70 Silver Eagles which many folks do. But thats just me.[/QUOTE]
