    About twenty five or so; some have been cracked out for albums and such and others were purchased solely for trading purposes and were left in the slab. I don't mind slabs, but I can also do without them. I know how to grade and authenticate a coin myself and don't put too much added value to a coin in a slab.

    Slabs to me make them more liquid and easier to sell protect and store. I been buying coins before there were slabs and bought raw and still do I can grade coins. I do see at coin shows. That a great deal of raw coins would not grade clean

    I bought about 25 this year. A mixture of slabbed and raw. Not sure why you'd break out a slabbed coin to put into an album....seems like that raw your looking for should come along

    If we're including coins we've sent in to get slabbed, then the number is well over 1000 :)

    Too many...they've forced me into going to slabbed coin addiction rehab tomorrow.

    I just hope they let me out by Sunday evening, so I have time to get in some eBay bids.

    ;)

    Off the top of my head, I believe that I've purchased 7 slabbed coins this year, most of them in NGC plastic.

    I was in that treatment center recently. They gave up and kicked me out. Hopeless case, they said.
