<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bama guy, post: 196367, member: 6154&quot;]For some coin i will have to say i Like the slabs.&nbsp; Not so much for the point grading system but for the extra protection they offer your coins.&nbsp; I have some circulated silver&nbsp; coins that I love to play with and hold in my hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; At times i just like to flip them and I do love the thud sound silver makes when it lands on a table.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As many of you know the silver anniversary sets were really not that secure in their mint boxes. When I opened one of my sets, a reverse proofs fell out and roll across the floor.&nbsp; This is one time that I was glad I&nbsp; did not hear that silver &quot;thud&quot; when it hit the floor.&nbsp; Now this is a capsule and most would not call this a slab&nbsp; but I was glad something was between the floor and my coin. I have a very few&nbsp; what i&nbsp; would call&nbsp; expensive&nbsp; coins&nbsp; and all of them are&nbsp; in either a&nbsp; pcgs and Ngc holder.&nbsp; I like to play with these coins&nbsp; also but i can not imagine these coins not being in a&nbsp; protective slabber.&nbsp; The thought of dropping one of these coins&nbsp; and it popping out of some&nbsp; capsule&nbsp; just&nbsp; is to&nbsp; nerve racking for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Grading an the point system is&nbsp; here to stay.&nbsp; As eveyone one knows the 70 grade sells for a singnificant premium over a 69.&nbsp; Right or wrong, like it or not, that is a fact.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Take&nbsp; at the first strike , first release first whatever.&nbsp; With all the information out there, these things are still selling for a nice premium over the &quot;regular release&quot;. There are people who have money who are willing to pay extra for that little something special as they see it. I hope I am never in a position to have to sell my coins but in that event, I hope they are still around.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is just this newbies opion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
