<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 7684491, member: 116145"]You say stuck with - I say enjoying. I buy details coins pretty frequently, if the price is right and I want them. I don't have a huge budget and I'm not buying to resell, I'm just a collector, I buy what I like and / or what I need to put together or improve my collection. For example my newest 1921 SLQ - freshly back from ICG is a details VF25, but I bought it for a details price, and it's much prettier than the ANACS G4 I had in the slot in the collection. I love it! I also am trying to learn how to better identify raw coins that have been cleaned, I'm still not very good at, but my ICG submissions are teaching me a lot, as well as buying slabbed coins here and there from the other 3 major TPGs. Here are the ICG pics - because my pictures are usually terrible, even with my new iPhone (I admit I was hoping for a higher grade, lol, those who think ICG overgrades crack me up, as that is not my experience at all, I am always on the look out for ICG slabbed coins that PCGS snobs turn up their noses at).
