Fascinating to see, for example, how many LWC from 1938-58 are out there in top quality slabs in 65 or better that sell for far less than the slab cost. Some big bets on potential upgrades that went south!

THe TPGs have the hobby by the neck.

What's worse is the obverse looks overgraded (to me)

Saw a 1910-S Barber half in a PCGS G4 slab at a show on Saturday

Also new & inexperienced collectors who would shotgun coins to the tpgs to learn what grades they will come back as. I was one of those before ccf ... but mine were primarily big silver and some gold unless I knew it was a key

I have to admit I bought a congress 1989 half on ebay recently for $10. Though to be fair it did get a 69 and they were Probally hunting a 70. It's my first slabbed coin got it since it was free shipping and the exact amount for my gift card.

I'm thinking about doing that to about a dozen coins I got from my Grandfather. Most aren't worth much, but I've had them for 50 years, and imagine that if I gave them raw to the nieces and nephews, their provenance would be lost.

Good idea slabbing coins you don't want spent on gum and other various extravagances.
