<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbdii, post: 5119, member: 655&quot;]Slabbing coins has the possibly unintended side effect of turning the art of grading into science.&nbsp; The biggest benefit&nbsp; of this trend is to investors who can buy up fine examples of rare coins without having any knowledge of numismatics or any real interest in that discipline.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Having rarities become investment material for those outside the hobby seriously distorts the market for collectible coins and can only serve to harm the hobby as it becomes more prevalent.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; That&#039;s just my view.&nbsp; Your mileage may vary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
