<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 2941418, member: 83845&quot;]I&#039;m not as anti-slab as most on here.&nbsp; I prefer to hold my coins in hand, for sure, but with certain coins it is comforting to know that it is slabbed or was once slabbed.&nbsp; Despite what some may think of NGC not guaranteeing authenticity I think Vagi and Co. are more qualified than me to spot a good fake.&nbsp; It would be nice if NGC offered a service similar to Sear where they offered an opinion without entombing the coin but, hey, at least we still have Sear.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope that ancients don&#039;t go the way of modern when it comes to slabs but I don&#039;t mind having a few in my collection because I can always bust &#039;em out whenever it suits me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; Long story short, if it were me I would probably leave it in the slab until there was a reason to take it out (better photos, new storage organization etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add: The slab might also have been considered part of the gift by the giver.&nbsp; Something to consider.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
