<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1413206, member: 19463&quot;]Slabbing ancients gains you customers among those who are not already collectors and will dive off people who already collect.&nbsp; It is your choice.</p><p><br /></p><p>The error is very special but that will not do you any good when it comes to selling the coin.&nbsp; The coin is a Tribute Penny type of Tiberius.&nbsp; Thousands of people who don&#039;t want other ancients like this one because of the Biblical connection.&nbsp; Those people want a nice normal one, not an error.&nbsp; Specialist collectors only like errors that are &#039;really&#039; different and this one is just that BUT they may not want to pay extra for bothe the coin being a Tribute Penny and being an error.&nbsp; I suspect this coin might bring more than a normal denarius of another ruler but less than a normal Tribute Penny.&nbsp; I suspect slabbing it would diminish the market because you would drive away people like me and gain fewer new people than you would with an ordinary coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Leo is not an ancient and would probably gain market among modern collectors (still driving me away but I don&#039;t collect modern coins so why should you care?).&nbsp; Whether it adds value to offset the cost of slabbing is a question I can not answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
