[QUOTE="Milesofwho, post: 3183733, member: 91469"]I like some US stuff, but on the whole it is for me a very expensive series to even consider collecting. Ancients is something I can enjoy a lot more, because the coins are much older, but cost about the same. In ancient coins, each coin should be valued individually, and not by forced standards that are originally based on the amount of wear a coin minted with the same sharpness, relief, thickness, and weight as the next one recieves over time. I personally don’t care much for slabs, and own none currently. The only time I see use for a slab is to guarantee authenticity, and only if I’m truly unsure. I see almost no use, with the exception of the above, to slab an ancient coin at all, and I certainly don’t see how that translates to a price increase.[/QUOTE]
