Message:: [QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 6453923, member: 116145"][ATTACH=full]1257266[/ATTACH] I have been buying raw and slabbed coins for decades when the whim hit me and I was lucky enough to have a few bucks in my pocket, but I decided to get an SLQ set slabbed after I picked up a 1923-S (details) in an ICG slab and my 1921 came in an ANACS slab.  I looked into sending to PCGS, NGC, ICG and ANACS.  After looking at my own coins, reading all the online criticism and pondering it, I sent 18 coins - mostly SLQs into ICG.  The process was easy, it was affordable for me, and I trust the results. As I've now started a second SLQ slabbed collection (was doing a low grade set, now trying to start a higher level set too) I've got a bunch of slabbed SLQs, I've bought PCGS, NGC, ANACS and ICG - I'm looking for nice coins, you find more nice coins that are cheaper in ICG and ANACS slabs in my experience because PCGS / NGC folks can be really snobby about even touching those.  That works great for me!  I just made my second submission to ICG, including a 1921, 1919S and 1919D, which are key dates and some raw common dates that were sold as MS.  If I was going to worry about reselling I might send some to PCGS - heck I might have some of the higher end ones submitted to PCGS anyway eventually - like the 1916 FR02 Damaged, 1921, 1919S & D and the 1923-S.  We'll see.  I'm very happy with ICG and will continue to use them as my primary going forward.  Here's some of my SLQs.[/QUOTE]
