<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1675875, member: 24544&quot;]I agree 100%, being able to hold the coins gives a very intimate connection with the history, something slabs don&#039;t do.&nbsp; I have shown people some of my coins, and when I first give them the slab that&#039;s all they see, they don&#039;t ask questions about the actual coin.&nbsp;&nbsp; If the first coin I give them is raw they immediately make comments about the coin intself, it&#039;s date/condition/value...&nbsp; It&#039;s a huge difference and one that is certain to affect people&#039;s decision to enter the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny story about those leaving those expensive coins in holders, I was at a show where a collector asked if I wanted to see an S-79.&nbsp; I said sure, not like I will ever own one.&nbsp; He pulled the raw coin out of his pocket.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
