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
I count 12. Type coins and been picking up a few nice classic commemoratives this year...I'm new here tho' not new to collecting...
I have bought 2 slabbed coins this year. One is a 1942/1 mercury dime, and the other is a 1942/1-D mercury dime.
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.
4 more the last 2 days. And sold about 15. And bought a ton of raw I need to send out and have slabbed
