[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 8552787, member: 24754"]I only collect NGC slabbed coins. In my opinion, there are a ton of upsides to this and very little in the way of downsides. All that being said, I agree with the overall sentiment that slabbing coins in museum collections is a silly idea. It's not really the "Advertising" aspect that bother's me, although I guess it'd be appropriate to omit or hide this information under these circumstances.
