<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 311965, member: 4552&quot;]Being a person that frequents about 2 to 4 coin shows a month I&#039;d have to say of course the value increases. Actually the value of the coin does not increase, however, the price for any coin in a slab is always higher than one not in a slab. At every coin show there are more and more slabbed coins due to the dealers knowing full well they can always ask for more money due to the coin being slabbed. I&#039;ve seen coins worth only a few dollars sell for an rediculous price due to being in a slab. Many, many people have gone completely slab happy. This is why there are so many new slabbing, or grading, services poping up. Many collectors have boxes of slabbed coins and that is now their collection. All plastic. </p><p>Myself, I break out all slabbed coins. I have none and when I buy one I take the coin out and throw away the plastic. I&nbsp; refuse to pay a dealer more for a slabbed coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
