<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 448376, member: 9167"]Simply, if you have to question why you should or shouldn't slab your coins, you probably are like me and see no valid point in spending thousands of dollars on a cheap plastic case and an opinion you could have made for free. The only reason would be in selling your coins at top dollar. The old buy the coin not the slab is true only for those who really collect. The others, like was mentioned, could care less. You could have slabbed toenail clipping from TD Roosevelt and someone would be happy to shell out a grand to aquire them because a TPG said they were MS 65. As far as doing your uneducated family members a disservice by not slabbing them, thats rediculous. If you don't have the time to basically educate them on your lifelong collecting, then you don't care about family that much. Spend some time with them and share your collecting knowledge. That way when you pass it on, it's not just a box of junk they can't wait to discard...it'll be a memory and maybe a passion. I've heard a lot of lame excuses as to why slabbing is good and why it's not. It's really up to you....it's your collection.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
