Message:: [QUOTE="Tusky Ranger, post: 3636089, member: 105500"]So being quite new to the hobby, (but always enjoyed coins/money in general as long as I can remember) I have a general question with hopes that some folks will share their insights on this.  After working with Walkers and Washington quarters, Morgans and Eagles have become my thing!  Eagles I'm good with because they are "modern" and I have managed both a certified (including supplementals and proofs) and a complete raw set.  As for Morgans, they have really grown on me, and now I've acquired quite the collection so far (spent nearly $7K so far).  Most are raw, and I quickly rounded up the plentiful ones, and now for the pricey ones.  Not really into the varieties; but if one strikes my fancy I'll go for it.  I started buying graded/certified coins and I've cracked a few open to put them in an album - but...now I'm having second thoughts on this process.  I guess I just like the physical coin in my hand!  I'm torn between filling an album and keeping my new acquisitions in holders, and getting previous coins certified (or re-slabbed for the ones I removed).  So...basically I'm just wondering how some of you go about this; and maybe provide a newbie some pros/cons on this before I get much further.  Many thanks![/QUOTE]
