<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 3763963, member: 36248&quot;]I like the older holder and would keep it in there.&nbsp;&nbsp; There seems to be alot more collectors placing a monetary value on the slab than there were say 10 years ago.&nbsp;&nbsp; To me, the slabs keep getting uglier and uglier.&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe that is one of the reasons people prefer the simpler old style slabs.&nbsp;&nbsp; I could also be that there are just alot less coins in older slabs now.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are other reasons I am sure too.</p><p><br /></p><p>I prefer the same coin in an old style NGC fatty or PCGS doily over the newer slabs.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Some still get cracked out playing the upgrade game, as a point higher more than offsets the loss of the older holder value on some coin series.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people:&nbsp; &nbsp; Ignore the slab, 100% coin only thing that matters.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some others 100% slab, coins doesn&#039;t matter (yes, these people do exist, they collect slabs, not coins).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I tend to be a mix of the two, as are most people.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 90% is the coin, 10% is the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, there seems to me many more collectors thinking along the same lines as me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know my coin is way more valuable due to the slab than the coin itself, just one example:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1007865[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
