<p>[QUOTE="GinoLR, post: 8108427, member: 128351"]I do not pay much attention to the potential financial value of coins. Yes I know, this can sound idealist but I'm now too old to change my weltanshauung. I never spent much on a coin, for I used to be a collector when I was young, but at present I very rarely acquire new coins (in 2021, only 2...). Many of my coins have been offered to me by friends or relatives who know I am interested in them and will surely appreciate this kind of present. I have also offered many coins to people I love and who are interested too. I even gave coins to a public collection that did not have a specimen yet. </p><p>All this to say that, for me, slabs are an heresy. It would be too frustrating not to hold them directly in my hand, not to have direct physical contact. As far as ancient coins are concerned, my philosophy is the same as Uncle Scrooge's.</p><p>(I am sorry, I did not find an English version of this plate) :</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1410580[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
