First ANACS Submission, Happy And Want To Show Off The Goods!

@kbbpll .... I was referring to death, but consider that collecting priorities evolve over time and today's priorities may well change for many collectors. As for spending $190 to identify common, low value coins that the great majority of collectors and certainly dealers can easily attribute, I'm not a fan. That said, if it floats a collector's boat to do so, go for it. The 1913-S type 2 nickel is worth slabbing.

I count myself among collectors who don't focus on the profit/loss equation. That said, I see many collectors for whom $190 is a significant amount. That amount would buy a few choice coins. Then too, I think it's wise for collectors to look ahead and formulate some collecting goals doing so with a budget in mind.




In calling the OP's slab expense to question, I'm not criticizing him. The above statement pretty well sums up my message .... Collectors might objectively consider the value of slabbing particular coins. If it simply soothes their fears, lights their fire or whatever, these subjective feelings know no price.
