<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2821878, member: 10461&quot;]Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p>I hear you, and totally &quot;get&quot; the aversion you and so many others have to plastic slabs for ancients.&nbsp; They do serve my purposes for storage and display, though, since the rest of my collection is slabbed.&nbsp; But yes, I do miss the tactile &quot;hold it in your hand&quot; experience.&nbsp; That is the biggest downside to slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have recently thought about trying to find some way to maybe fit an Air-Tite style capsule inside a little card that is about the same size and shape as a TPG slab -&nbsp; or even fitting the AirTite inside one of those snap-lock &quot;do it yourself&quot; slabs - so I can put my ancients in them and store them in the slab box in a somewhat consistent fashion, while not permanently entombing them.&nbsp; I&#039;m open for suggestions on that.&nbsp; I think the &quot;AirTite inside a snaplock slab&quot; idea might only work for smaller coins, though - wouldn&#039;t work for a sestertius or someting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again, the slabs do look nice, and having David Vagi and staff at NGC pronounce their opinion on a coin doesn&#039;t hurt.&nbsp; They&#039;ve spotted some issues with some of my past coins (filed rims, etc) that I had not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
