[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4347, member: 112"]I collect what I like - period. It doesn't matter what slab the coin is in as a general rule because I usually know what I'm looking at. But in those cases when I do not - like early milled or hammered gold & silver - yeah - the slab matters. In those cases I would only buy NGC, PCGS, ICG or ANACS. But I also buy a great many coins raw. If I know the coin I'm not too worried about it. If I know and trust the dealer - I'm not worried about it at all. For I know I can always give it back any time I want. As for the Registry sets - nahhh not for me. I don't need to put such a collection on the internet to know what I have.
