I have no slabbed coins. Over the years I've acquired some but always break the coins out for my Albums. This is regardless of the price. Even if I had a coin worth many thousands of dollars and in a slab, I'd just break it out for my Albums. I really don't see any reason to keep a coin in a slab since that would only be for resale purposes and I never sell a coin.

You also have to remember that even if you buy a slabbed coin the slab it self can be counterfeit. It is rare but it happens.

I have none either, except a Denali quarter slabbed from the grading co. to sell more slabbing.

I bought a bunch of slabbed Lincoln wheat cents when I got back into coin collecting last year, but, partly influenced by y'all, I have decided that I like raw coins better.

Buying slabbed coins started to feel like I was an 'investor', not a coin collector. That's simply my self-perception, I don't make that assumption about others.

Plus, I suspect that all currently slabbed coins will eventually need to be re-graded when computer-grading takes over. By 'need' I mean that over time people will start to doubt the accuracy of human-graded coins and they will want the computer-grade.
