[QUOTE="kanga, post: 4280966, member: 9270"]I've got the Logan/McCloskey Half Dime book. I'll likely try for the Dime book. Somewhere along the line I got interested in die varieties and die marriages. And oddly enough just before the Dime discussion I decided to look into Capped Bust Dimes. I've got the Zack book. QUESTION: When you buy these coins, do you: -- buy them [B]slabbed [/B]with authentication? -- buy them only [B]slabbed [/B]and do your own authenticating? -- buy them [B]raw [/B]and have them slabbed and authenticated? -- buy them [B]raw [/B]and do your own authenticating? -- some combination of the above? I personally like my coins slabbed with authentication. [B]BUT[/B] The expense is not trivial. Slabbing/Re-slabbing and Variety Plus can easily be almost $50. Then you have to add S&H. And if you want to do a crossover you can easily lose half a grade or more.[/QUOTE]
