[QUOTE="HumptyDumpty, post: 796206, member: 21325"]I'm a college student, unemployed and my wife is the main bread maker. When I was about to buy a 12 pack of beer and was about to pay for it, I noticed a dollar bill that I was about to hand over, the bill was a 1953 silver certificate. I googled it, and somehow came across a page for the 1992 close AM. When googling the 1992 close AM, I came across CT, and ever since I've been ADDICTED! So okay, what does that have to do with slabbed coins you may ask, for me (and everyones opinion are going to be different), I would slab a coin after posting it on CT to find the opinions (emphasis on OPINIONS). Being on CT though made me appreciate coins, and gave me a new hobby that I soon passed onto my wife. Unlike me, my wife LOVES errors coins now, but purely for profit. So, whats the point of me posting, well, if you want to sell to make a profit, slab the coin first, after checking with CT to see if its worth it first of course. In my opinion, if you love the way a coin looks, there's no need to have a coin slabbed. But, if you want to sell that coin, we all know graded (slabbed coins) fetch a premium over raw coins. Just my 2 cents.[/QUOTE]
