Message:: [QUOTE="Tusky Ranger, post: 4623507, member: 105500"]This is a subject I've gone back/forth with time after time; in mind.  Everyone has their way.  I've pretty much settled on the Morgan dollars and ASE's as my primary collections.  Unfortunately I like both slabbed/raw coins.  For my ASE's I have both a raw (mint state) and slabbed set.  I do break out coins; esp the Morgans as I only have a raw collection; except for the CC's which I have a slabbed and raw set.  Yes..they do cost more, but...I feel a whole lot safer with a slabbed coin (understood that even those require scrutiny at times).  I just bought an PCGS AU-55 CAC 1893-P Morgan.  I haven't broke it out yet...Im having an "internal battle" on whether I should or should not do this.  I may keep it and buy a "hole filler" instead.  More battle to do!  Like others here, I really have no one to leave these coins to - hopefully I can get back a good chunk of what I have put in to it.  In the end...the joy and satisfaction of collecting any coin that suits my fancy, slabbed or raw, is what counts...for ME.[/QUOTE]
