[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1238059, member: 9270"]Bear in mind that most of the coins you were looking for are too inexpensive to slab (under $200). Just not valuable enough to pay the cost of slabbing AND S&H ... both ways. That's why you could find them slabbed in MS but generally not circulated. QUESTION: Were the War Nickels that you bought all slabbed? Franklins below MS tend to go for about silver spot ... and not slabbed. You generally only find the more expensive commems slabbed in circulated grades. AU SL dimes and silver 3-cent should be easy to find. You seem also the have the same problem that I used to have, what I call the "kid in a candy store" syndrome. Way too many things you want for your budget. Hard to break. Consider sitting back and picking one or two areas of concentration. Final comment: [B]GREAT REPORT![/B] I'm going to take a lesson from you about how to report about trips to shows.[/QUOTE]
