<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2821825, member: 76194&quot;]You know, part of the reason why I haven&#039;t switched to slabbed coins, other than storage space issues, bad grading system, fake hoard names on labels, no guarantee of authenticity, etc., is that if I were to send my 130+ coins&nbsp; to NGC for slabbing, my fees would be north of <b>$3,285.00</b> (and that&#039;s not even including shipping and insurance costs). And believe me, when you buy slabbed dealers pass that cost on to you, so imagine how much more I would have paid for those.</p><p><br /></p><p>Slabbing really only works in ancients for high end small collections, or maybe for a few limited high end coins in your collection. As we tend to amass collections of 100+ coins, slabbing all our coins just doesn&#039;t make sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those $3,285.00 which I&#039;ve saved (and probably more as dealers jack up slabbed coins higher than the cost of slabbing), I could probably buy myself&nbsp; two common Late Roman gold solidus coins or 6 or 7 Byzantine gold solidus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
