I hope to live to be old enough to no longer be able to lift the heavy binders that contain my coins. If the receiver of your coins does not collect or treasure them because they were yours then their grade or value is meaningless. I would sooner give them to a young collector who might get the enjoyment and appreciate them as I have then see them sold to a dealer or worse, then bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have busted out a few NGC PR69 Silver Eagles and then sold them for profit. The slab game seems to me to be very over rated for a collector of my caliber. You bust out that quarter and do with it what you will. I am sure there are many many more just like it that have been slabbed and it will not be missed, the slabs that is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good Luck, Be Careful, and Keep on Collecting!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Allen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
