I buy the coin, the slab gives me 'peace of mind' about my purchase. as for the slab label - I don't look for all that extra crap on it, don't need no signature or pretty pictures. just the grade and cert number. More times than not, I crack out the coin for placement in my albums anyway (Unless is is a very high dollar coin - then it stays)

I have not purchased an individual coin in a slab. There are premiums attached to slabbed coins, so why buy it in a plastic coffin when you can buy it significantly cheaper raw? I know people have their good reasons but I personally avoid it altogether. I do have a couple slabbed coins, but they were purchased in large collections and kept.

I do understand why there is a premium attached to slabs, but sometimes it just gets ridiculous. It is just something that is in the market and needs to be lived with.
