2005 Bison Jefferson Nickels

Honestly your opinion is meaningless to me, if you buy slabs I'm Happy for you. I buy coins and I won't pay for the slab. A 2 by 2 adds cents to the cost, a slab adds at least $16 to the cost, for a low cost coin like the bison nickel it's a significant multiplication of the cost. Now if you sell a slabbed coin for the same cost , in this case $.35 I have no issues buying a slabbed coin.

I may have phrased it incorrectly, when I say I buy coins not slabs, I mean I pay for the coin not the cost of slabbing. So in this case if someone wanted to sell a bison nickel slabbed for what I can get it raw (under $1) I would get it. I buy the coin not the cost of slabbing I guess is what I wanted to say. Slabbing a coin adds no value to me for low cost coins, I guess if I was buying a $1000 coin I would prefer a slab. But if a raw was cheaper And of comparable grade and I could exam both, I would probably get the cheaper one. Mind you it would have to be at a dealer, with a good return policy that I've done business with and trust. I wouldn't buy a $1000 online slabbed or not.
