<p>[QUOTE="CoinKeeper, post: 771817, member: 16707"]I do have a lot in plastic but I want to make sure what I get is genuine, correct grade, and uncleaned. Also if it comes time to sell I know I won't get ripped off and there is a fair market price which will be payed for the grade displayed. I also like the look of plastic and it keeps my coins protected and in order. Since I'm in Canada, there are hardly any shops that have a nice stock of MS US coins. Whatever they have is way overpriced and/or altered/cleaned. Buying raw coins with photos off the internet is too risky, so slabbed coins (in my case) are the way to go. But, local coin shops' lack of knowledge also works to my advantage since I've gotten large cents (VG 1813, VF+ 1846) for about $10, and VG+ flying eagles, and 1909-VDB's for a few bucks a pop! I've made 500% profit at times with flipping coins I bought from a shop and selling them on eBay <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Some more eye candy:</p><p><br /></p><p>MS 66 Buff. <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.ca%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D110467685274%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.ca%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D110467685274%26ssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110467685274&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Franklin half.
