Ok this may seem silly but in all my years of collecting i have never had a slabbed coin till today. and thanks to Jack i can now proudly say i have one and its a beaut!!!!! im using the pic jack did because im not very good with pics... But it really looks sweeeeetttttt!!!! Thanks again Jack Jim
Nice coin, not a fan of the "crusty" look on these coins. Toning kinda odd, but hey if you like it... Congrats on your first slab. Start an NGC registry set, you may never get to the top, but it is fun to compete with others
Cool!! I don't have a slabbed coin yet either but I should get one within a few weeks I'm thinking. I had a chance to get one already and I didn't, I took the raw instead. I guess I was feeling old school that day.
I think some coins should be slabbed and MS silver dollars qualify. :thumb: I've bought many slabbed coins (less than MS) and I've freed all but one and it's an extra of one variety I already have and I'll eventually sell so I left it in the slab, since I'll be selling it. Nice pick-up! :thumb: Ribbit
Based on the photo I am imagining with a bit more light it is not as crusty as you might think and that the toning is more of a light gold which beats blast white.
Very nice!!! WTG Having slabbed coins in one’s collection is a nice addition. What’s important here is the fact that you made a conscious choice on broadening what to look for when shopping for a coin. Since you have been collecting for years and all your coins are raw. How would you evaluate your grading skills to the slabbed coin? Were you right on, hard on the coin, or generous with your grade? Knowledge is power, the more you have, the better your chances are in realizing just how many good deals the market has today.

re~peat On a scale of 1 to 2 ....it's somewhere in between? I actually know a guy who got a PhD in Math for trying to define how many #'s there can be between 1 & 2! He finally got past his committee only after he PROVED there are more #'s between 1 & Zero. Knowledge~Invent some:high5:
