<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 4641944, member: 74624"]I wasn't going to comment any more on this thread but after going back and reading the op's original post and some of the later posts I wanted to add a few more cents worth. The op likes raw coins; I get it. But what I don't like is how he disses those who buy slabbed coins and criticises the TPGs themselves. I have bought my share of raw and slabbed coins, both for different reasons. Even when I buy raw coins, my purpose isn't to get intimate with them. I can feel pretty confident buying raw modern coins for albums but when buying classic coinage I tend to go the slabbed route since I'm mostly interested in high grade coins. If my ony reason to collect coins was to physically handle them then I could care less about condition. There are many affordable low grade affordable classic US coins available.</p><p><br /></p><p>But my reasons for collecting coins are my own and nobody should mock my reasons because they don't fit theirs. How and what we collect are personal. We don't need someone else to tell us how to entertain ourselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
