<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7980905, member: 115909&quot;]I am a slabber too. I know a lot of people who collect ancients really hate the slabs but I’ve always been told “collect what you like not what others like” and I like slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mostly it’s because if I bought raw ancients I’d probably end up with a collection that was 50% fakes from China.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s true NGC doesn’t “guarantee” authenticity but at least they have their experts look at the coins. They definitely won’t slab a coin if they believe it’s fake and it’s not like every week there are stories about fakes found in NGC slabs so they seem to do a pretty good job.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like that with slabs I can let anyone hold my coins without holding my breath that they’ll drop it or get oils, dirt, sticky stuff etc,. on my coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I learned quickly is that if you hand someone who isn’t familiar with coins a small coin and tell them to hold it by the edges…there is a good chance they will drop it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
