<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1119727, member: 3726&quot;]There are just as many reasons to not get coins slabbed.&nbsp; For example you vignette - if to protect it you had to put a boarder around it that obscured part of the it - would you still do it?&nbsp; This is what happens when you slab a lot of coins - you lose the edge view.&nbsp; Unless of course you go with the edge view holders from MMNS(not sure if I got that right).</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand what you are saying, but slabbing does not prevent serious damage - the slabs can melt in a fire, cracked in the mail, etc.&nbsp; They might prevent some damage from drops and such, but they can still be damaged.&nbsp; A slab does not prevent someone from cracking them out and preserving them - or even cleaning them to try for that higher grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes - most collectors are like me.&nbsp; They get a slabbed coin and do their best to take care of it. But I have also cracked coins out of the slab so they can be in an album. I have no problem with slabbed or raw - but personally nothing beats a nice set of raw coins in an album. Just my humble opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
