. . . for me to crack out my first slabbed coin!    With her other sisters now in their home they call Dansco:  I resisted cracking it out, but I was questioning the color of the 1923-S I bought when I first started collecting. I'm thinking it's a re-toned "dipper". In fact, while filling the slots in my Dansco I discovered 4 different Peace dollars that were either cleaned or had hairlines. I purchased all of them as a newbie. I will be replacing those also, of course. I think it will be easier next time. Whew, glad that's over.  |

NGC and ANACS are easy.
PCGS a little tougher.

NONE of my coins are slabbed.
Slabs don't fit into my storage system!
Non slabbed coins force me to grade my own coins more accurately.

I have never liked the concept of cracking out slabbed coins. One slip up and you could totally ruin the coin forever. Don't get me wrong; I understand what it means to be able to handle coins outside of plastic, so I buy un-certified coins for my albums.
However I think coins in slabs should stay in slabs. I like the protection a slab gives a coin; I think I would be nervous having a valuable coin loose or in an album.
I would do crossovers, only because there are professionals there to get the coin out of the slab.
Maybe I'm the only one that looks at it this way...

Not at all Rollsearcher - some/most high value coins likely merit the extra TLC a slab affords it. For me, if I had one open slot, I'd like it filled with the nicest coin I had unless it just made sense to keep it in a slab.

This always makes me happy, coins have life to them in the form of stories, forcing them into plastic coffins drains that life! Great to see one come back :)
