<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinOKC, post: 135613, member: 2146&quot;]Speedy, please correct me if I&#039;m wrong, but I think most of us on this forum are COLLECTORS first and INVESTORS second.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reason I enjoy having coins (such as your Franklins) slabbed is because:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. It preserves the coin in a sonically sealed container (much better than I could preserve the coin myself).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. It lists a grade evaluated by a THIRD-PARTY GRADER. Should I ever sell the coins, there should be minimal argument about the grade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. The slabs make an attractive presentation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. The cost is actually minimal (specifically citing the example you mentioned above).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But, regardless of these factors, if you&#039;re a COLLECTOR (as opposed to an INVESTOR), I think slabbing coins is worth it simply for the preservation value alone. I encourage you to slab those Franklins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
