[QUOTE="Rono, post: 1367380, member: 6492"]Howdy, I'm with treehugger on this. I refuse to play the sticker games with plain vanilla late date bullion - the First Strike nonsense. I also refuse to collect uber-high graded registry set type stuff. Can't say I blame the folks that do - it's just not my cup of tea. That said, I had some stuff I sent in to be slabbed and I own slabbed coins. The stuff I sent in was bought from the mint but weird and otherwise scarce - the 06W ASE, the 07 & 08 fractional burnished W stuff. I can't afford to buy all their issues, particularly gold, but I love to get all over deals. I spent over an hour on the phone AND internet to place my order for the 25th Anniversary set and got my 5. I turned around and sold 2 to effectively pay for the 3 I kept for my two grandsons and I. Did the same with the 06W Eagles that came out late in the year. Bought 10 and sold some and had some slabbed. As for actually buying a slabbed coin, those are key and semi-key date collector coins and stop. peace, rono[/QUOTE]
