<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bill in Burl, post: 2931589, member: 23692&quot;]From what you have stated and your intentions(cost, space, etc), I don&#039;t think that you should slab any of your coins until you and your son have evolved enough to accurately grade what you have and be able to ascertain how much a coin is actually &quot;worth&quot;.&nbsp; You can not take any &quot;book&quot; value of a coin to correctly find out its actual worth.&nbsp; You can&#039;t sell a coin to a book .. you need someone with a wallet.&nbsp; If you have a coin with a book or guide value of $100, you would be lucky to have a dealer buy it from you for $40 and you might be able to sell it for 5$50-70 to another person.&nbsp; With paying $30 to a TPG and paying shipping both ways, you have probably spent more what the coin will ever be worth (the ability to actually sell it).</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy coin collecting for what it is ... a hobby for you to enjoy.&nbsp; Once you start buying slabs or putting your own coins in the, you lose the real feel of coin collecting and all you will have is boxes full of plastic with cardboard stickers.&nbsp; Take the money that you would spend to have 2 coins TPG&#039;d and spend it on a couple good reference books that will teach you to grade your own stuff.&nbsp; It will make you both a more knowledgeable buyer and seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
