<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7669499, member: 117420"]Actually think "tomb" (for a slab/holder) is a misnomer. Think about it. In an album...depending on the album but the kind in your photos...you can't/don't ever see the other side of the coin(s)...just usually the obverse...and what a dis-service to the coin(s) plus to those wanting to appreciate the coin(s) to their fullest and the collector who wants to display/show the coin(s)...not just one side. Plus, there's the issue of what albums do to coins over time...40-50 years. If anything, "tomb" more signifies/represents an album...not a slab/holder. Just keep the slabs WITH the album, make some custom inserts to plug the holes with "in holder" and your family/others can enjoy BOTH sides of those coins with ease and which are far better protected/conserved, plus with better value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
