<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 8232323, member: 85693&quot;]I have exactly three slabs in my collection, all of them from eBay, all of them, bought for the coin, not the slab.&nbsp; All of them were priced about what I figured the coin itself is worth without the slab.&nbsp; In the case of the OP, I probably paid a bit too much - but then Titus dupondii are not exactly easy to find in the $30 range, even cruddy ones.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the rest of my slab collection in all its glory:</p><p><br /></p><p>Gordian III - $13.88:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447543[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Severus Alexander sestertius, $50.00 (more than I usually pay for a sestertius, or anything, really, but I thought this was an especially attractive one (and under-graded)).&nbsp; For better or worse, that it is in an NGC slab did enhance its potential resale value, something that influenced my buying it for sure.&nbsp; But mostly, I just think it is a gorgeous, low-grade sestertius with great artistry, color, centering, etc.:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447544[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1447545[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve yet to free any of the captives yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
