[QUOTE="Jeepfreak81, post: 3072693, member: 93888"]This is probably more true than not, and hadn't really considered that. Some of them are advertised as estate finds and such, though I suspect they've been picked over quite well. It's not so much for the sake of owning a plastic coffin. It's something that I have no experience with. I've never owned a slabbed coin or even held one in my hand. We have a single pawn shop nearby and it's 90% jewelry and 10% musical instruments. I will never understand it either if I don't give it a try, right? :woot: I don't have a burning desire to own all slabbed coins, just looking to expose myself. To slabbed coins I mean, I mean to be exposed to slabbed coins, ok it's getting worse. That would be great, but I don't have one. I live in a town that is the largest town in the area, everyone for up to an hours drive away comes here to shop. That being said, we still have a population of under 10,000 people. Specialty shops are few and far between, unless you're into hippy clothing, candy, or "tobacco" products.
