wooohooo! Look at these beauties I got for my dealer!!! What a wonderful guy! Ok, I’m just kidding around. I did buy them from my dealer for $2.50 each. He got them from some poor woman at a coin show. She was trying to sell off some thousands of dollars worth of Ebay slabs. :headbang: Sad really, but I get 2 holes in my set filled and 2 slabs for something better. …and YES I made sure they are silver.
Hi HappyC, Will you break those open and put the coins in your album? I have a couple I purchased on ebay and elsewhere, but the coins are so nice that I am wondering if it would be sacrilegious to open them to place in my album. However, I have opened some that were in the 63-67 range and placed them in my album. Any sealed slab I have opened doesn't seem to be reuseable. How do you open them so you can reuse the slab? jeankay
I already opened them. I keep most of my dimes Roosevelt in airtites holders. The cheep slabs I posted have little slits in the sides, just put a Flathead screwdriver in there and slowly twist. They will pop right open.:whistle:
You try not to, just send them to slab heaven. Let them rest in peace. Do you know how many plastics die every year for SGS salbs?
The first SGS I bought was a Buffalo (Bison) 1936d nickel that plenty nice for my special album. Yeh, I have a stack of SGS's here that I have opened and another stack that will soon be opened. I only ordered from them because they had some coins that I needed for my album that are in uncirculated condition. The first batch were rather good, but this stack of ten statehood quarters are bu at best. They are all graded SGS MS70... ha! They have such a low standard that I bet they would grade circulated coins the same way. Another thought, maybe they just don't have labels that are printed less than MS70... Maybe they would like us to return the slabs so they can reuse them? I better quit here because I can get out of hand with my sarcasm-ability. Thank you both for your input... I have enjoyed the exchange of information. jeankay
I'm sure you probably know but the R in Liberty is curved on the silver coins. Which is one way of checking.
