[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7782462, member: 115909"]Thanks I appreciate it :). I don’t care if other people prefer raw coins. That’s their own choice and their own collection and they’re spending their own money. Frankly I just get annoyed when people make me feel like I’m stupid for buying slabbed coins. Or that it’s “wrong”. I just feel more comfortable knowing it’s been examined by experts at NGC as well as the auction house rather than just the auction house which is the one trying to sell it in the first place. Since it’s my collection I believe my own comfort in buying the coins is relevant to the matter. I also like that I can let my 4 & 6 year old nephews hold them and look at them since they showed an interest in collecting when they started collecting state quarters. They always have sticky or messy stuff on their fingers from Cheetohs powder to sticky apple juice and I like that I don’t have to worry about them getting it on my coins. Just the holder. Kind of like the slab is armor.[/QUOTE]
