<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kazuma78, post: 8109081, member: 17304&quot;]I have some of both raw and slabs. I see pros and cons to both and some days flip flop between the two. I must say I do enjoy the raw ones the most, and it is super fun to take photos of a grouping for a striking photo. Here is an older photo I took one day while &quot;playing&quot; with some of the coins. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1410771[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the value add I see to slabs is when I show them to non-collectors (which I do often). These folks seem to have a tendency to drop coins, and it gives them something larger to hold onto and protects the coin some. I learned this the first 3 times I let non-collectors handle my larger 33mm Lysimachos tetradrachm- Which was thankfully over carpet when dropped. The other possible value added is if I randomly get hit by a meteorite my wife may have an easier time selling them? But that remains to be seen, and is just theoretic. It seems coins that get a star designation bring rediculous money and that may help maximize some value for her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
