<p>[QUOTE="Tater, post: 853513, member: 9717"]Well over the past while I have been thinking about submitting some coins to NGC. My collection has been growing and I buy the nicest stuff I can afford. My type set looks great and my mint state peace dollars are about done, dang that 34-s. I have been a member here for a couple of years and have always read the post about storage and taking care of your coins. I have most coins in Dansco with a slip case and have bought an Intercept sheild album. I also place my high end albums in large zip locks than place them in to a rubbermaid storage container with silica gel. I haven't had a bad problem of coins toning other than a couple of dimes. My mid grade and low end is in 2x2 flips in blue whitman cases in storage. I have been thinking about slabbing my higher end stuff just to protect my purchase for when the wife has to sell them, several years from now I'm only 38. I also would like to do the registry thing with the peace dollars, I'm doing the Ikes and am loving it. Ok this week I have been filling out a spreadsheet for inventory. I have a lot of money tied up in this hobby, I was surprised. I also read the article on coin storage on page 89 of the current Numismatist and am thinking about long term storage and collection protection. It is easier to get money out of slabbed coins now days. I have always loved my dansco albums and the presentation factor and have bought several coins in slabs and cracked them out. So I want opinions on what you guys think, to slab or not to slab? Is it natural progression to be an album lover than want to switch to slabs?</p><p><br /></p><p>Why can't someone like dansco come up with a nice way to present slabs?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
