<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bhp3rd, post: 515035, member: 16510&quot;]Okay you&#039;all here I am fooling around in &quot;Coin Talk&quot; when I should be putting up Lincoln Cents but,</p><p><b>Who hates slabs more than me???</b></p><p>1. I hate slabs because they look stupid and take up to much space!</p><p>2. I hate slabs because they give the impression we are idiots and don&#039;t know how to grade!</p><p>3. I hate slabs because they are more expensive and really should be a &quot;discounted coin&quot; IMO!</p><p>4. I hate slabs because so many think that it gives them some unneeded experience &quot;from on high&quot;! - kind of like the coin has been blessed or something!</p><p>5. I hate slabs because you cannot see the coin as well!</p><p>6. I hate slabs because they get scratched and marred easily!</p><p>7. I hate slabs because you cannot really feel like you are holding a rare object, ie: the coin is entombed!</p><p>8. I hate slabs because they think they are right about the grade - how many times have you seen a slabbed coin incorrectly graded??</p><p>9. I hate slabs because, (unlike many believe) a slabbed coin can still tone and ruin - ie: they are not as protective as you may be led to believe!</p><p>10. And finally, (as I am sure you all will glad by now) I hate slabs because I firmly believe that one day, and maybe sooner than later modern coins, commemoratives and bullion that has been slabbed will command less value than the same stuff in original holders.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Just my opinion, and this is for fun guys/gals, don&#039;t get upset.</b></p><p>Ben &quot;I hate slabs&quot; Peters, signing off now and will not be back until Sunday as I am sure that makes some of you very happy indeed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
