Message:: [QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 20956106, member: 59677"]OK, I collect slabs for their historical value. That means that along the way I've accumulated a collection of the true basement and sub-basement slabs. FPG (First Party Graders). Unsealed (think INB and SGS). &c I really hate the idea of these ending up on fleaBay 20 years from now as some fabulous MS70-graded piece-of-dreck. For many of these slabbers, there is a clear oldest and newest (i.e. cert# or sometimes the coin - a 2000P Sacagewa cannot have been slabbed before 2000). I'm thinking of keeping the lowest cert# and the oldest cert# and maybe something that has a special grade (an SGS slabbed Ag3 would qualify)... Put the rest in 2x2s and donate to the Youth auction at TNA or something like that. Or maybe doing some trades... For example, since it's sitting on my desk... HCGS (Hallmark Coin Grading Service) [code]Cert#      Coin 23        MS70 2004-P WI 50SQ 32        MS70 2000P Lincoln cent  33        MS70 2005D Sacagewa 95        MS70 2005-D Ocean in View Jefferson 5c126        MS68 1971 Kennedy Half[/code] So I'd keep the WI and Kennedy and put the rest into the donate bucket... What do all y'all think? (NB: if you see this ATS [CCF], only one vote per person, please)[/QUOTE]
