[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8184882, member: 56859"]Slabbing modern coins appears to be the norm. It is expected and there are better reasons for it than for ancients. It can be pretty hard to tell one high grade Washington Quarter from another so if proof of someone's opinion of grade is the prime directive, then I guess the modern coin hobby must continue to submit to slabbing. Slabbing ancient coins is not the norm, for the multitude of reasons discussed on CoinTalk over and over and over and over. I'm an [B]idiot[/B] for commenting in this thread in the first place when it's all been said before and having this discussion again just makes me sad.[/QUOTE]
