How many slabbed coins have you bought this year?

I have never sent anything out for grading, considering I don't think I have anything worth sending for grading. I still have bought a small number of slabbed coins, mostly Morgan Dollars, since the start of 2015. So far I have bought 14 slabbed coins in 2015, 8 MS-64 Morgans, 3 MS-63 Morgans, 2 MS-62 Morgans (One prooflike), and one 1946 MS-65 FB toned dime. 9 PCGS slabs and 5 NGC slabs. How many have you bought this year? ​

About 6.

 

Only three, back in January. I plan to buy one or two more this coming January.

 

Only 1, 1692 spain 1 reale in a pcgs slab.

 

I bought a token from a CT member that was already in a NGC slab when he bought it. Other than that I have been slab free since 1999.

 

I get a good deal on the MS-64 Morgans. My coin dealer charges $55-$60 on common date MS-64 Morgans.

 

Zero.

 

Other extreme here: Everything I've bought this year is slabbed. Figure it will make it easier for an heir to dispose of if something happens to me.

 

A solitary gold dollar from New Orleans mint.

 

10

 

Zero since 2013!

 

I have bought 3. Not because they were slabbed, but because I liked the coin. At some point they will be naked again.

 

I collect ancients. None in a slab.

 

No more then 50.

 

None. As it is, I own only two from previous purchases a couple years ago.

 

Just three:
1965 PCGS SP66+RD Lincoln to complete my M66 or better PCGS Registry 1965 Special Mint Set
1971-S NGC PR68CAM Silver Ike Dollar
1972-S PCGS MS66 Silver Ike Dollar

Everything else (Silver Washington Quarters in BU, Jefferson Nickels in Full Steps, Liberty Nickels, Mercury Dimes, etc.) All Raw!

 

I don't want to count. It's more than 12.

 

Big difference between "How many have you bought" and "How many have you kept" for me Lots of fun flips from eBay & the US Mint this year!
I've only added maybe 5 slabbed examples to the collection and will be selling the Moderns from my NGC 7070 registry set soon, which makes for a net deficit of slabbed examples, but the quality of classic coins is improving and that makes me feel good.

 

19 slabbed, both PCGS & NGC.

 

Less than one. I'm in Europe though.
