<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneyer12, post: 1363623, member: 28233&quot;]self grading is part and parcel and the fun of coin collecting, it is first and foremost a hobby and when one gets to concentrating more on the worth of a coin the hobby then becomes a business. in my own collection every coin is speacial to me, be it a civil war siege coin from newark, scarborough etc etc or an olympic 2012 50 pence piece, they all have their charm an attraction. i am selling my collection, not for purely financial gain but because i feel that i have come to the end of the road with it but like doug my love of numismatics will never wane. i can catagorically say though that not one of my coins is slabbed because i feel it would lock them away in a plastic coffin instead of the being a tactile and important part of history, i am firmly in the anti slabbing camp as are 99.9% of uk collectors, and even though i will be no longer collecting i will still be vehemently anti slab.........because in my opinion someone has found a way of screwing coin collectors by slick marketing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
