<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25933519, member: 4626&quot;]My attitude has definitely changed over the years.&nbsp; I&#039;m still not a huge fan of slabbed coins, and have only ever bought a few that way.&nbsp; Three I bought slabbed I broke out to put into albums (one was a trade dollar that because it is faked so often, I bought it slabbed just for the peace of mind of knowing it was authenticated).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have sent some off to ANACS not so much because I care about their grading opinion as for just the convenience of preservation and storage of a few coins I thought was worth it.&nbsp; (I have some coins in slabs that are worth less than the cost of grading lol, some were just fillers to get to a certain number of submissions to qualify for package deals.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I own the only 2007 $5 silver tuatara coin in an ANACS slab as of now lol.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I&#039;ve reached the point of, I&#039;m not completely against what TPGs do, I&#039;m just not hugely interested most of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Don&#039;t get me started with toned coins... I don&#039;t deny that some of them can look nice, and I have a few with some light toning, but for the most part... I just don&#039;t think they look right and I definitely wouldn&#039;t pay a premium for such, in or out of a slab.&nbsp; For me &quot;toning&quot; will forever be euphemism for corrosion that some people subjectively decided they think looks nice.&nbsp; Let such people have them; I&#039;ll pass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
