einstem Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 11:35 am I actually do it "both ways". I do raw coins in my CAPS albums for certain types of coins, and then I also create a "slabbed set" of graded coins for another type of set. For example, I am finishing up a full Jefferson nickle CAPS set and will do all raw for that, even for some of the tougher dates (a few of which I bought in "slabs" and then "cracked out" to put in my CAPS album. But I have also decided to do a high-quality SLABBED album of just the Jefferson War Nickles - trying to get highest grade with full-steps where possible. This is a more limited collection, but something that I have decided would be fun to try to do and will do all with fully SLABBED coins. Similarly, I am doing a Peace dollar collection and doing that entire collection as Slabbed coins, since I want to try to avoid cleaned/detailed/poorly struck coins and my "eyes" for Peace dollars just aren't great and its not a huge premium to get Slabbed Peace's compared to Raw Peaces if you show around. So, can do it both ways if you want.. Michael Report this Post to the Staff
RubyOpal Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 12:56 pm I wonder what cracking coins out of their cases will eventually do to population estimates. In a few decades,some of the same coins may have been graded two or three times and added into the count! Report this Post to the Staff

I guess it depends on what percent of slabbed coins get broken-out and either put in albums or "resubmitted", sometimes multiple times.. And I know some people submit from one slab company to another since they want a different "label"... But agree it makes the "slabbed populations" really just a count of how many went through the slabbing process, not how many are actually "still out there"... Michael Report this Post to the Staff
paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 03/10/2018 4:39 pm I routinely 'crack open' the capsules holding certified banknotes. Sometimes I want to complete a series, and the graded note is not only the nicest copy available when I'm looking for a copy, but it may even cost less than a raw note. It's often also the only copy I can locate where I trust the grade. I get pretty tired of looking at UNC notes that are AU, and AU 58s that are really AU 53s, etc., etc. There is a reason why graded material is widely available, and subjective grading is it. The premiums added to a lot of items are really overdoing it, I think. The cost of grading should just be a part of the sales price, but no more. Report this Post to the Staff

Right into my 7070 it went. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Populations are always high for that reason and a few others. They're especially high right around big value jump grades. Rather than using populations for literal numbers they're a much better tool for relative numbers within the series. Whatever numbers are shown for a coin just assume that not all of those actually exist especially if you're looking at both the PCGS and NGC numbers as many coins are counted in both.
