<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 183059, member: 4552"]I disagree with spending the money on grading and slabbing. Myself I just don't like slabs. I prefer an Album like the Dansco or Whitman where you can see and appreciate the entire collection together, front and back. Once you start with the slabs you end up putting a piece of paper in the album saying go somewhere else for the rest of the coins. I like Whitman only because of the blue color. Silver coins stand out better than Dansco Brown. </p><p> Now here is something else. What condition is the 25D, 25S, 26S? Is there a slot for the 45 Micro S in that album? If old probably not but the 45 may be a Micro S. Some of these are also way up there in value depending the condition. Now here is a real sleeper. The 31D has the 4th lowest mintage of the Mercs and for now is super undervalued again, pending condition.</p><p> I would suggest you get interested in the hobby, keep the album intact as is and maybe even try to improve upon it for the future new coin collectors in your family. </p><p> But then again the best thing would be to just send it to me as a belated Christmas present:hug: :hug:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
