<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 8109580, member: 31620&quot;]I have owned several thousand ancients across about 20 years and in that time I have bought 3 slabbed coins. I freed the first coin and disposed of the slab and the label as it added nothing to the coin in my eyes. I have only paid a premium for the slabbed coin over a raw coin once and that was an example where the attribution on the slab doesn&#039;t match the coin inside as they had misattributed the coin. The third coin fits firmly in my collecting focus and is still in the slab. I have considered removing it from the slab several times and have held back for now. I am undergoing a major overhaul of my filing system and that may well force my hand as the coin cannot sit in it&#039;s rightful place in my collection if it remains in the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regardless of my feelings about slabs - my coins are of numismatic interest to me and are sufficiently low value that the NGC fees simply don&#039;t make sense. The vast majority of my collection are &lt;£250 with a large number &lt;£100 I cannot see that spending £23 per coin for the Economy service or £45 for the Standard Service to get them slabbed is economical.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
