<p>[QUOTE="coinsguy, post: 69091, member: 4088"]Some people just like to have their collections in sonicly sealed capsules because the coin is permanently protected from the environment and the capsules are attractive. In addition they can handle the coins without fear of fingerprints, moisture from sneezing etc. It's really not much different from taking a raw coin, putting it in an intercept holder for protection and then putting that in some kind of book or case so that they can easily be displayed or examined. In fact, when you add the cost of the raw coin, the intercept holder and some kind of book or case to display them in, the price difference is all that much. A buck or two really isn't a lot of extra expense for attractive packaging and afterall, the whole idea behind collecting coins is the enjoyment and the history it entails, is it not? As such, having a slabbed coin or a raw coin really makes no difference when you look at it from that angle. If you like slabs and don't mind spending an extra few bucks, then by all means, do so. If you want them raw, then you can be happy too. To each his or her own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
