I&#039;m just used to using a scalpel on people so using one around a coin seems natural to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting discussion on slabbing and doctoring. I think the take home here is to be very careful about buying high-end coins raw, know the series you are collecting, and ask a lot of questions of people with more experience. And use books.Digenes, do you have a copy of &quot;The Coin Collector&#039;s Survival Manual,&quot; by Scott Travers? Worth every penny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
