<p>[QUOTE=&quot;larssten, post: 2646570, member: 78319&quot;]Thanks for the post. I have somewhat of the same dilemma! And hope you don&#039;t mind me telling about my own issues and dilemmas in your thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m an amateur collector and have been actively collecting US coins for about three years. As of now I have never purchased a slabbed coin or submitted any coins for grading, although I appreciate and understand the advantages of doing so. I don&#039;t know but there is something with the feeling of having your coins raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, many of my coins are either in Dansco, Whitman or Harry&#039;s albums and i enjoy completing series. See that several of the key dates and varieties often sell in slabs and then I&#039;ll get the dilemma of cracking those to fill up and complete my albums.</p><p><br /></p><p>One example is my Indian Head Cent album where I have most, but not the 1864 L Bronze variety, which there is a hole for. I am considering buying a specimen for sale in my area which is NGC AU58 BN. I want to fill my album but also see the downside of cracking it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice for a beginner collector?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
