<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 1819506, member: 56370"]I have never been able to understand the need for slabbing any modern non-circulating coins, and don't see how there can be any difference in eye appeal between a 68, 69 and 70 unless there are spots or some other obvious defect. Especially when the original packaging usually looks nicer than a slab. For me the joy of collecting comes from owning things that aren't common, and slabbed bullion just doesn't fit that bill. It's kind of like investing in dot com stocks in 1999 based on number of mouse clicks...</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have one question that maybe should be in another thread. What is the lowest grade ever given by a TPG for a non-circulating modern coin, not for damage but just normal wear? Are there any that make it into the lower circulated grades?

What is the lowest grade ever given by a TPG for a non-circulating modern coin, not for damage but just normal wear? Are there any that make it into the lower circulated grades?
