<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 92574, member: 4552&quot;]I hate, and I mean HATE, the present grading system of coins. I also hate slabbed coins. I&#039;m from way, way back when you looked in a Red Book and saw G, F, U and P for all&nbsp; coins. When I was a kid that&#039;s all there was and I&#039;m to old to change. I put all my coins in Whitman Classic Albums so what good is it for me to buy a slabbed coin. When I have I just cut them open and put the coin in the album where it was ment to be. I&#039;ve been collecting for well over 50 years and if all my coins were in slabs, I&#039;d need a building the size of my house to put them all in. </p><p>Unfortunately we all must change with times and fighting the present grading system is futile so I do go by it when at coin shows. But I still walk away from tables with all slabbed coins. I know it pays to buy valuable coins in slabs knowing it is real and not counterfeited but I think some of us are really getting nutty when I see coins from the 1990&#039;s and up already slabbed.</p><p>AHHHH for the good old days when life was simple.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
