<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2362522, member: 19250&quot;]Brandon&nbsp; #11 I disagree&nbsp; totally . ...yes they are bullion&nbsp; coins and yes should be mint state. However&nbsp; many times I have run across&nbsp; a kookaburra , ASE, or other 1 oz silver&nbsp; bullion&nbsp; that someone else has already slabed .&nbsp; I have purchased&nbsp; these sometimes less than a raw coin.&nbsp; You always buy the coin not the holder but.....If I can score a slabed&nbsp; coin that I know is a MS 69 for sure for less than a raw one it&#039;s&nbsp; a no brain er. You can always crack it out.</p><p>I understand&nbsp; your attempt&nbsp; to follow logically&nbsp; rules of the road that one my think is correct . And yes there are several that should be observed . But remember&nbsp; this coin collecting&nbsp; is not logical from one point of view....Why because what is liked by one is hated by others. It&#039;s&nbsp; a personal&nbsp; thing,and choice. So any sorts of logic is out the window when dealing with another likes or dislikes.</p><p>How many times in here has a member posted something&nbsp; and you asked yourself why did they spend money on that ?</p><p>I like your project&nbsp; and was glad to help with photos as you asked.....but you need to look at this not from the left or right but middle of the road view.&nbsp; With advice that is sound not a personal view of collecting .</p><p><br /></p><p>One other point I disagree&nbsp; is only buy slabs from the top 4 tpg.</p><p>You always buy the coin! Not the plastic . </p><p>There are collectors&nbsp; who collector&nbsp; slabs no matter who&#039;s&nbsp; name on them, sample slabs are huge these days.</p><p>Yes again that is a personal&nbsp; call or choice, but just supposed&nbsp; you found a key coin in a slab from a TPG that is not one of the top 4? Do you pass on it&nbsp; when&nbsp; you know it&#039;s&nbsp; a winner?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
