<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2805915, member: 19463&quot;]Those who have collected ancients for a long time generally find things about coins that they value more highly than grade.&nbsp; This might be an interesting type or something tied to history.&nbsp; It might be style or artistic merit.&nbsp; Some would rather have VF in fine style than MS in &#039;made Friday afternoon&#039;.&nbsp; Slabbed coins were &#039;invented&#039; to attract collectors of modern slabbed coins who have no interest in the coins but only the labels.&nbsp; The advantage of the slabs is that you will be able to sell them to someone who is just coming over from moderns when you decide to collect coins that may not be in slabs or lose interest altogether.&nbsp; Collecting ancients can involve a lot of study and that does not mean Red Book/Gray Sheet market study.&nbsp; The question is whether you are interested in that style collecting or only financial gain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
