<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 94873, member: 4381&quot;]I have nothing against slabs but the slabbed Flying Eagles (although sometime I like to HOLD coins in my hands) but generally they seem to be the most top shelf examples of the coin and I&#039;m swiming in less expensive waters.&nbsp; Furthmore, I don&#039;t really need to ask about a slabbed coin.&nbsp; BTW - I&#039;ve seen a lot of Flying Eagle Slabs with cleaned Flying Eagles.&nbsp; And with Flying Eagles, I could be wrong, but my observation seems to be that slabs cost much more money then the price differences in slabbed Morgans.</p><p><br /></p><p>These coins, more than others I collect, lead me to ask about their quality because so many are cleaned, and so many have strike imperfections, and the coper/nickle finishes seem to be sensitive, often very dark.&nbsp; And because there are so many G&#039;s and F&#039;s available, many of them very dark and with limited eye apeal, the tempation for fruad and cleaning is high and there are a lot of frauds, and polished coins around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
