<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbdii, post: 4359, member: 655&quot;]Everybody has an opinion on collecting graded coins, so your opinion on what makes the most enjoyable pursuit in collecting is what should always count most to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; My own view of slabbing these new quarters is that it&#039;s an uneccessary expense since they are being struck practically by the billions and even MS-70s are going to be relatively common in such huge runs.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; If I was prone to collecting, my own tastes in coins would keep me from fooling with any circulation issues struck of base metals.&nbsp; My taste in modern coins runs strictly to precious metal circulation issues.&nbsp; I buy and sell and have fun doing it without ever dealing with any professional graders.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Just like ND, I have a current favorite from my inventory, an 1853 silver 3 cent piece which would go maybe F or so.&nbsp; Usually, my favorite coin changes from time to time as I sell one favorite and get a new lot to sort, grade and put out in the cases.&nbsp; A new favorite usually comes along.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; If you&#039;re having a good time collecting in your current area of specialization, then you&#039;re doing what matters in the hobby.&nbsp; What anyone else thinks should be secondary to your own view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
