<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 449092, member: 3011&quot;]People occasionally arrive in this forum with the story, &quot;My spouse died and left me several thousand coins.&nbsp; I need money but I don&#039;t have the slightest idea what to do&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>What are the odds that this person will ever realize the full value of the coins? Practically zero.</p><p><br /></p><p>But thinking as a pure, selfish collector who doesn&#039;t give a hoot about anybody else but me me me, slabbed coins are enjoyable from the standpoint of comparing your personal grade to the experts.&nbsp; They are good for authentication for coins frequently counterfeited such as trade dollars.&nbsp; They provide a little safety when buying from Ebay. The holders provide a professional appearance for the collection and offer substantial, but not perfect, protection for the coins against accidents.&nbsp; They are somewhat easier to resell if you care to upgrade or switch your attention to another series.&nbsp; And they are fun for &quot;guess the grade&quot; posts at Cointalk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
