Freeing The Prisoners Of The Basement Slabs.

Poll Question
OK, I collect slabs for their historical value. That means that along the way I've accumulated a collection of the true basement and sub-basement slabs. FPG (First Party Graders). Unsealed (think INB and SGS). &c

I really hate the idea of these ending up on ebay 20 years from now as some fabulous MS70-graded piece-of-dreck.

For many of these slabbers, there is a clear oldest and newest (i.e. cert# or sometimes the coin - a 2000P Sacagewa cannot have been slabbed before 2000).

I'm thinking of keeping the lowest cert# and the oldest cert# and maybe something that has a special grade (an SGS slabbed Ag3 would qualify)... Put the rest in 2x2s and donate to the Youth auction at TNA or something like that.

Or maybe doing some trades...

For example, since it's sitting on my desk... HCGS (Hallmark Coin Grading Service)

Cert#    Coin
 23        MS70 2004-P WI 50SQ
 32        MS70 2000P  Lincoln Cent 
 33        MS70 2005D Sacagewa
 95        MS70 2005-D Ocean in View Jefferson 5c
126        MS68 1971 Kennedy Half

So I'd keep the WI and Kennedy and put the rest into the donate bucket...


What do all y'all think?
