TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 12:24 pm I am with you 100% - I love handling my coins. It would probably be a different story, if I collected modern proofs, or something similar, but most of my collection is 200-or-so years old :) The only slab I own is the one I won in a giveaway. I do have some coins at ANACS currently, but mostly for authentication than grading. Once they come back - they are getting cracked-out. ~Roman Report this Post to the Staff

EgCollector Pillar of the Community Egypt 3470 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 4:12 pm For my self I think that the main core of collecting coins is that you love to own, feel and handle coins. Thus if it is inside a plastic slab its like buying a nice car and never diving it. I think that you'll enjoy your coins more now Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 5:14 pm I collect Busties in VF-ish grade. One of the real enjoyments I derive from this collection is the ability to handle the coin, to hold it in my hand and imagine where it has been in its' long circulation life. It's a feeling which cannot be duplicated by the most lustrous MS68 Trade dollar there ever was. Report this Post to the Staff
librtyhead New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 6:15 pm Holy crack attack Batman! Good for you.....I like to get dups and put them in the albums keeping the good slabbed coins in an ammo box.........I have a quick question were they all pcgs & ngc? In all I may have about 80 slabbed coins now, Good idea to take photos. Report this Post to the Staff
Five4fighting Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 6:26 pm So those of you that hate TPG because you like "Handling" your coins and the slabs you can only look at them, question, doesn't handling coins tend to make them less valuable? I mean they would get "dirty" and lose their luster. If you say you put them in a 2x2 cardboard flip isn't that basically the same as a slab and you can't "handle" the coin?

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 6:38 pm I have a few slabbed coins that are special dates to me or Commens. For the most part my collection is either in 2x2's, sleeves and binders or tubes. There's something about plastic, although having a key date graded and protected is a good idea. As for keeping them in 2x2's...they can easily be removed, viewed easily and then popped back into another relatively inexpensive 2x2. As far as handling the coins...there is a proper way and an improper way as well as cotton gloves for proofs, BU's, key dates. I just prefer a more organized method for storage with the above mentioned. Good for you to remove the hindrance to your enjoyment! Report this Post to the Staff

I still have many of those! http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...um=223&pos=3 I rather doubt that authentication certificates are "economically viable" for TPGs. They can't play "Rent-A-Grade" games. Congratulations! Your a successionist now. Feels good doensn't it? Edited by longnine009 12/03/2006 7:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
mishap-coins Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 12/03/2006 7:56 pm Well Wow Typemaster it must of been a real job to do this ! It seems you got on the ebay and other auctions and just bought and bought and I would love to see the pictures of all these slabs before and after. I have heard of some people like you just buying in hopes they may find something. Like the guy that buys 100 penny stocks in hopes of one day one may pay off.(speculation) I am sure we all wait in anticipation to see the photos. Maybe I missed them ! With all the TPG's it is better to have it in raw cause the coins in some slabs is like having bought a coin in an airtite. MC Report this Post to the Staff
