[QUOTE="Rick B, post: 4640538, member: 113624"]A lot of things like this reinforces my feelings about TPG's. Just call me "raw guy"! Although I'm not altogether against slabs. In fact, I'm considering buying some from Jeff Garrett/Ben Todd ([URL]https://www.sarasotanumismatics.com/[/URL]). But I will remove the coins from the holders and keep the labels. Jeff would kick my butt for saying that! He is a strong advocate of slabs. "Buy only PCGS and NGC" he told me. I respect him highly but I don't agree with this simply because it is not my hobby style. But I'm going to shop around first to see if I can get better prices.
