Surprised that such high grade pieces aren't in slabs. Pieces like these are frequently in strong EACers hands and most EACers don't keep our coins in slabs. When they get sold at auction the auction house will typically put them in slabs. If an investor buys them they stay in the slab. If they are bought by another EACer they will often be cracked out. If they are sold privately they tend to stay raw. |

I was glad to see these coins still not part of the trendy slab scene. Thankfully there ares still enough collectors who have been around long enough to realize the TPGs are just a non-essential side-business taking advantage of (that's not a negative connotation) this hobby and the human (perceived) "need" for an "expert" opinion.

Thank you, @mdpmedia. It sounds like a "scholarly" wing of the coin collecting fraternity.
I am with them in spirit. I love copper coins, and the older the better. Admittedly, most of my are British.

Thanks for the clarification Conder101. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Incredible display! Congrats! Although, I could really do without the "If theyre real" and "slabs" type of comments...
