<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 26497445, member: 13650"]Congrats. Pretty cool. We're in the same boat. Started collecting these about a year ago and have quite a few now. I like purchasing them slabbed and unslabbed. Usually you will pay more slabbed. It can cost $55 a slab to get them graded now with an expanded description.</p><p> Most of them don't have the expanded description label because it costs more but it's nice because they actually add the weight of the coin and say what god or character is portrayed on the reverse and what they're doing. If you see those labels, it cost more to get them graded for the info. I keep the slabs in a Lighthouse album in chronological order. </p><p> Most ancient collectors don't like slabs but I do for the ID, even though I know what they are. I think the labels add some attractiveness to them. The Totalus Rankium podcast has been great. I've listened through 50 episodes. Very interesting. Some fluff for fun. They did their best. Really brings these portraits to life for you and gives you a feel for what kind of human beings they were. Prepare for the Good the Bad and the Ugly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
