[QUOTE="wesdavidson, post: 591598, member: 18646"]Depends on your circumstances. An over looked benefit of slabbing is if you have to sell under duress, health reasons, or if you pass on and someone else dumps the collection. I live in an area that has long been without a dealer. The pawnshops would offer maybe $100 - $150 maybe less, unless the seller really can preasure them. They buy gold all day for a fraction of melt, jewelry. They may weigh it, they don't give anything for stones. They don't see coins as any different. They send anything in for melt. They may even claim it is fake and get it for a couple of bucks. At least slabbed coins have a chance of getting to a dealer. Now, if you have a good local dealer, you trade often, and have few worries, then keep it out and handle it often. As for ex jewelry, if it isn't drilled or soldered, don't worry about it, nobody else will.[/QUOTE]
