<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ffrickey, post: 845932, member: 20613&quot;]I think one reason so few European coins are slabbed is simply that with older European coins no-one has to worry about minute distinctions of mint state, they are simply poor, good, very good, fine, very fine, or extremely fine--and most collectors feel competent to make the judgement themselves.&nbsp; Though admittedly, a coin might classify as &quot;good&quot; from the 19th century, but &quot;very fine&quot; or xf if a coin in the same condition came from the 16th century.&nbsp; I&#039;m not a fan of slabs myself; I like to pick a coin up (albeit carefully) and view it &quot;naked&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
