I have never held a slabbed coin in my hand. I seen them at stores but they pretty rare at the coin shops I got to. There might be around ten in a display case. I usually have zero interest in what they have in the so never asked to see them. It was a surprise when I went to a upper end store in Michigan and all of their counter coins were slabbed. I was relieved when I saw they had albums coins behind the counter.

I have sample slabs from both NGC and PCGS--picked them up for free when I was about 12 back in 2001. They were handing them out as part of a "scavenger hunt" set up for the kids. Truthfully, I had always considered them to be worth a couple bucks at most... is that not the case?

It depends on the slab. The common ones are just a few dollars, but some of the rare ones go for hundreds.

Recently one of the rare ones (PCGS Doily sample WITH the RUFFCO sticker) was hotly contested on ebay... sold for around 250$
