[QUOTE="Hamburger, post: 4228880, member: 17940"]Gosh. Well that's my Sunday morning education taken care of for this week. ;) To my mind, the great thing about @[B]quirkygirl[/B]'s find is that she's stumbled across a coin that is interesting, not ridiculously expensive and which -- within reason -- she can handle and enjoy for as long as she continues to own it. Once we start sealing things in certified slabs we're losing part of what makes them special -- whether we're talking about coins, stamps, vintage comics or Nintendo games. Of course I understand the investment angle, but I'd much prefer to own an older circulated sovereign, quarter eagle or 20 franc gold coin than a sealed package that will lose most of its monetary value if I open it. Even if that package is triple certified. ;)[/QUOTE]
