Why would they slab these.

Smittys

I just bought 13 Anacs Roosevelt dime slabs the best is a 1947 MS61 the worst is a 1949 Net XF
These two below really baffle me.
Why would they slab these? The person selling said he didn't, but who knows.

someone needed 1 or 2 more coins to get a special "deal" on a submission is my guess.

People who think they can grade but can't would likely do this.

Could be for a grading set.

NWCS Looks like something I would do.

Don't think so here's what there was
1946-D MS62
1946-D AU55
1947 MS61
1949 Detail AU net XF Cleaned
1952-D AU 58
1953 AU 58
1954-D AU 53
1956 AU 58
1956-D MS63
1957 AU55
1963 AU53
1964-D MS62
1964-D MS62

Unless it was an AU53-MS62 grading set

I agree with Goose.... had to send in some junk to make the tier cut.... I once seen 7 slab boxes on ANACS on ebay all with "net" Peace $ coins in them... I asked the seller why so many and he said he had to send in some junk to pay $7 a coin for a 500 coin submission.

The alternate question would be "Why did you buy them?"

IMO, people can have graded whatever they want.

must... slab.... MUST... SLAB... MUUUUSSST SSLLAAAB!!

Some people won't even recognize that it's a coin unless it's surrounded by expensive plastic.

I have no idea, at least yours are not as bad as mine.

This is what I thought when I started thinking about it. But, my thoughts don’t hold up when you take into consideration the random selection.

I have wanted to start a quarter collection. 1932 – 1964, all in AU-58. Even though a couple of those guys are $500.00 and $1,000.00, they are well within my price range, and, AU-58 is what I like; good detail, but actually used by people.

Sometimes an owner (can't quite call them 'collectors') of a full set of coins- such as these Roosevelt dimes, will simply send all the coins in for grading.

I've seen the same incident take place with Lincoln cents and the submitter admitted this was his thinking when he did so.

As reported above plus:

1) Need extras to make a minimum submission
2) Coin was thought to be a variety/or better grade
3) Coin was junk in a large dealer lot submitted at one time
4) Coins met a individuals collectors preference grade ( I saw a whole Lincoln set from G – XF in Anacs holders one time)
5) There are no collecting rules; you can do what you want.
