<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 25687659, member: 15588"]Ancient collectors will almost always tell you to crack coins out of their slabs, modern collectors will almost always tell you to leave them in. In the end, it's up to you, you bought the coins. For me, it depends. I have a few ancients in slabs because I bought them that way and it doesn't really bother me. Most, about 99%, of my ancients are raw, though. For modern coins, I prefer them slabbed for the reasons mentioned: slabbed coins (especially moderns) are generally (but not always) easier to sell. That's been my general experience. I would keep very rare or expensive coins slabbed, modern or ancient, just for resale purposes. Cheaper ancient coins (under $1,000), I wouldn't have much problem cracking out. But the slabs don't really bother me, either. It's up to you in the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
