<p>[QUOTE="-monolith-, post: 26006244, member: 150064"]Most grading companies slab ancients coins, and just about anything else you send them, however ancient coins were never meant to be slabbed. Ancient coins were meant to "breath", be held in the hand, be studied and compared to other coins. You just can't do that if their slabbed. Heritage is notorious about slabbing ancients and then charging ridiculous prices for them. Luckily there are still plenty of un-slabbed coins available. The few slabbed coins I purchased I immediately cracked them from their cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
