[QUOTE="dta116, post: 13418, member: 1029"]As your replies are as Dealers and Investors...I on the otherhand am a collector, I love to see my sets and coins as they should be presented and not a box full of slabs! How can anyone actually say "Look at this beautiful set of Slabs, and I know they are worth what I paid for them" It has become a cold society of collectors that believe the goal of coin collecting is to insure value to others.... The value of a coin should be in the eye of the beholder. Most are beautiful in thier own right. The practice of buying sight-unseen just to fill a need and not to appriciate the beauty of the coin seen is certainly a fact of life and in these cases the need for authentication is very real but I feel maybe the newer collectors are buying the slabs. I'll bet most of your most valuable and beautiful prize coins were aquired before slabbing. 'Nuff preaching...I get your point.[/QUOTE]
