einstem Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 03/12/2018 4:18 pm Quote: I hate looking at a 'complete' collection but one or two of the coins is missing due to them being slabbed and not being able to fit into a 2x2 like all the others; so all there is to see is an empty 2x2 with a checkmark on it. The missing coins just sit in a shoebox somewhere with fellow plastic coated coins. hate it too.. but sometimes it can't be helped. For example, if you are collecting Mercury dimes, you would be pretty nuts these days to buy a 1916D unless it is slabbed since it has been so heavily forged and is even expensive in low grades.. why take the chance..

Good point. For what it is worth, I have never seen one offered raw; that is, looking at coin shows.
