[QUOTE="Mat, post: 3275528, member: 21445"]I still have a like for various U.S. coins, mainly Early Copper and Seated Liberty. But I agree the slab world is what drove me away from U.S. coins when I got back into collecting, and the high prices. Thanks to this board, I am glad to have gotten into ancients and Medieval. Much cheaper, historical & fun all around. My Volusian Tet.
