[QUOTE="cdb1950, post: 137523, member: 1735"]Slabbing is a marketing tool. It helps identify a coin and it's quality. Usually, the person that wants to sell a coin will get it slabbed so the marketplace will have a good gauge of it's quality. When the person who buys it puts it in their collection, they might want to crack it out so it will fit in with the rest of the collection. Of course, as other folks have mentioned, some folks will crack out the coin just to try to make a few extra bucks, or a collector simply might think the slab doesn't do the coin justice and take it out.
