I'm Buying The Coin & Ignoring The Slab

SarasotaFrank

although I am selling the vast majority of my collection, I have decided to keep a couple of sets, and hence am seeking three coins to round them out.

One of these I have located on ebay in the condition I am looking for.

After viewing the scans, I can see it is a solid VF+, and it will be a nice compliment to teh coins in the date range surrounding it.

As it looks now, I will get this coin at about 2/3 of bid.

Why? Because it is in an AGC slab! And it will stay there a good three minutes after I get it home, which is about the time it will take me to get a pair of pliers and a screwdriver.

I guess if you can pick out a good coin in an AGC slab, you can pick it up pretty cheap.

Hey Frank, I hear incoming Hey if you aren't putting them in an album, why not leave it in the ACG slab if you like it?

Lookin for good deals in ACG slabs is like trying to find a good wife at a whorehouse.

LMAO, darn you Anaconda I nearly spilled my glass of wine on the dog!

That's a gem!

true, but as a lowly collector seeking a mere VF coin, I would be willing to buy it at a significant discount. As for shopping for wives in whorehouses, I would leave that to those who have first hand knowledge of such an endeavor and can speak of it from an experts perspective.
