[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 5131908, member: 83845"]Thank you Clavdius! Nice example [USER=104887]@Broucheion[/USER] ! Yes I enjoy cracking these coins free. :D I also value the NGC tags and I’m glad they are sized small enough to fit in a coin flip. I don’t much care what the actual grade is but I do highly respect NGC’s opinion on authenticity. What a beautiful coin! If the person who won it is watching this thread I would be willing to consider a trade and I’d even pay the shipping. :wacky: As far as slabbing goes I can see why some collectors are really for it as you say but I find it curbs the fun for me even on high end coins. There is just something appealing to me about a collection of coins resting nicely in a tray the same way they have been stored by centuries of collectors. Perhaps I’m a bit nostalgic for I time I wasn’t even alive for. :oops: I wish NGC offered their service without encasing the coin. Of course, to each there own. Your collection is beautiful in or out of the slabs.[/QUOTE]
