<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 826203, member: 18157&quot;]I agree...I see coins selling for less than the cost of their slabs all the time...which makes me wonder why folks bother getting these things slabbed at all.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A slab (imo) does two (2) things...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. It provides some level of protection to the coin while allowing the owner to handle/view the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. It provides a level of &quot;securitization&quot; of the coin...meaning, it makes it more easily marketed...if one was to sell the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I can buy high quality, modern slabbed coins for less than the slabbing costs (or slabbing costs plus bullion value), I feel like I&#039;ve bought a &quot;free&quot; coin. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not saying I&#039;m right thinking that way, but there may be other CT folks that may think the same way and would like to hear some more discussion on the subject (myself included).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
