For the first time this morning, I cracked/opened a slab.


I haven't decided if I am getting a gold page or an album. In preparation for either one, I cracked my 1854 $3 Princess out of its slab.

I don't plan on cracking my other slabs. I have already incorporated them into my collection.

What did the TPG certify it as before you set her free?

I have seen some 7070's posted here in which the slab inserts were adhered to the back inside cove of the album, for future reference.

Congradulations. I have no slabs at all. I've purchased slabbed coins but always break them out for Albums. Keeping a coin in a slab is only good for resale.

Set free... To each his/her own.. I don't mind slabs. I don't mind albums, I hate folders!

I purchased a new whitman folder for ATB Quarters (for circ. finds) and WOW is that paper thin behind the coin slots. I breathed too hard and I blew a hole in the paper! I have some older ones that are certainly of higher quality.. Anyway, these coins have all moved to Danscos!

If she's going into an ablum, she'll need some friends. You don't want her to get lonely do you?
Rest in Peace

I don't know anything about slabs, but isn't that like taking an action figure from its box?

She has friends, but she was the only one in a slab.
(other than the 1847-D $5 Half Eagle that I am keeping in the slab)

I busted out about 20 the other day. Found a bunch of INB's that someone gave me at some point. Felt good to 'let the pigeons loose'. Not too mention that I could easily see how much the grade was off.
