<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1361001, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, just gets back to the whole &quot;buy the coin and not the slab&quot;, which most collectors and dealers ignore. I completely agree with Moneyer&#039;s thoughts. I would like having a coin like that in my collection, but with the slab around it, grade controversy, etc I would just pass.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient collectors have seen this whole debacle, and then to add insult to injury they use modern grades and definitions of grades on our coins. This is why most experienced ancient collectors basically wage holy war against any plastic. So far we are winning I believe, but there is a LOT of money pushing slabbing. All we can do is not reward a coin for being slabbed, in fact I bid $10 less for a slabbed coin for my fee to bandsaw it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
