<p>[QUOTE="Rick B, post: 4620952, member: 113624"]My previous posts in this thread explain that I am a raw coin collector. I don't like slabs. I like to "feel" my coins. I am not a coin investor. </p><p>Maybe an example from my book collecting will explain a bit. A book collector friend of mine collects the same author as I do, but buys them and puts them away without even opening them. He is afraid of damaging them. If he wants to read that book, he will read a cheap paperback. I read the books I collect, even the valuable ones. I read a book I bought for $15K cover to cover. I am VERY careful but I want to "combine" with what I am collecting, not hold them at arms length. I hope this explains.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
