<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 1224848, member: 18304&quot;]Last week my Uncle and his family came to town and we had a great visit. He is a coin collector from way back and I can say this must run in the family. So we are looking at some coins in my collection late one night and going over this and that and he says that he would love to get back into it and has been out for some time. He said that so much has changed but it is time for him to get &quot;current&quot;. That struck a note to what I am hearing here. I guess that is why I am here, so I can stay current.....</p><p><br /></p><p>So if the OP is a EAC person that starts to make sense to me. When I first started hitting major shows I noticed right away that the dealers in that were mostly only selling raw coins exclusively. I guess that category of coin collecting is a sort of deeper subculture that doesn&#039;t need or appreciate and prefers to forgo the slab. Its &quot;old school&quot; I guess and that is always good with me. Whenever I converse with a knowledgeable EAC person and I gather that they resist TPGs I don&#039;t waist a breath touting the benefits as there must be something I&#039;m missing and make it a time to listen. But so many other coins and aspects of collecting benefit from them if you ask me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
