<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1407836, member: 13650"]I can't believe the opposition to slabs. How can additional authentication and a professional third party's opinion be negative? On top of this, you're not supposed to "handle" high quality coins anyway, unless you want to put more oils and dirt on the coin. If a non-collector gets a hold of your collection, it's more likely that they will clean loose coins out of slabs. Not to mention that somebody spent good money on the service. </p><p><br /></p><p> IMO, there are coins that may not need to be in slabs. There are some that are common enough in high grades that they don't need to be in slabs while others are worn and low value enough that it probably doesn't matter either. The rest I would think it would be insane to ever crack them out. It only serves to hurt the value because people are afraid of buying fakes. I guess not everybody has gotten the memo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
