<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7980965, member: 115909&quot;]Oh yeah I agree with you 100% that holding the coins would be much more enjoyable than just looking through a plastic slab. Not being able to hold my coins is the biggest downside of slabs in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually plan on cracking out my Trajan tetradrachm so I can hold it in my hand because it’s one of my cheaper ancient coins so if something happens at least I’m not out a huge amount of money like I would be if I cracked out my MS Athenian tetradrachm or my AU quadrigatus and ended up damaging or contaminating them with a sticky substance or skin oils or something like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because I think that’s another one of my issues is that alot of my coins are tiny coins like denarii and most are in AU condition so all it would take is one drop or one scratch and my AU coin becomes an XF-details (scratch) coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the end of the day I think it all comes down to personal preference. But one good thing is that at least slabs aren’t permanent. In the future I can always change my mind about having them slabbed and crack them out.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s much easier to crack them out then it is to put them back in. It’s cheaper too. NGC fees are expensive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
