<p>[QUOTE=&quot;icerain, post: 1615599, member: 34514&quot;]Wanted to review what I read here and also my experience at the coin show.</p><p><br /></p><p>I now see why collectors of ancient coins don&#039;t like slabs. There were tons of slabbed ancient coins at the show, none of them looked necessary to slab. I also see why holding some of these coins in hand beats having them resting in tombs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Where the modern coins are really nice to have slabbed since they more condition sensitive. I got to hold some in hand and feel the surface. I also saw dealers dumping ancient coins on top of another, piled up or bagged up. None of them had scratch marks and when I saw one up close it still had a rich patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you tell I&#039;m getting a bit more interested in ancients... well maybe. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
