<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 263074, member: 9204&quot;]The best way to imagine this whole debate is to think back to a time before slabs and certification existed in US coin collecting, which is probably only really possible for a few. Sure, crooked dealers ripped people off on grades, but as a result, grades weren&#039;t of the same ridiculous (MS68vsMS69) importance they are now. People collect ancient coins because they are COINS. That&#039;s why so many of us like to touch our coins. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Although, my analogy isn&#039;t perfect. A crook can sell a common Constantine bronze to the unknowing for 50 dollars. He can sell a <i>slabbed </i>common Constantine bronze for 90. :-D[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
