I have the utmost respect for those of you that do, and, of course I want a coin to be the real thing, but being in a slab doesn&#039;t do anything for me. I want to be more, &quot;up close, and personal&quot;, lol. JMHO. I, also, am thrilled for you that are able to buy the best of the best, and save them for the enjoyment of future generations. But for my meager collection, I am happy with a coin as long as you can tell it clearly is the coin it is supposed to be. i.e., I would rather have a complete collection of Lincoln Cents, graded &quot;Good&quot;, than to have one slabbed 1909 - SVDB in MS 67. Again, JMO. Well, and my budget, or lack of one, also lends a tremendous amount toward this way of thinking. If I couldn&#039;t build my collection &quot;one piece at a time&quot;, I would still be saving for my one coin collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
