<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 449025, member: 15062&quot;]If I have read and interpreted the comments here, slabbing is mainly done with an eye toward a future sale of the coin.&nbsp; That is all fine and good but what I intended by my original question was to find out why a <u>collector</u> (not a speculator) who collects for the enjoyment of the coins and who has no intention of selling would want to have a coin slabbed.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m asking those who collect for themselves only, and feel they need to have some of their coins slabbed, Why?</p><p><br /></p><p>The theory that it helps descendants and relatives assess the value of the coin doesn&#039;t seem especially valid since most everyone I know keeps a separate inventory with their collection.&nbsp; And anyway, few collectors collect specifically to pass their collections on to someone else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
