I'm imaging a bunch of these today, and when one looks real nice I can't help but want to show it off.

  • I love your buffs. Do you buy them raw or crack them?
  • Stunning color, beautiful photo.

    The vast majority I buy raw. I've cracked out five altogether, I believe. I try like we all do to find undergraded coins that are underpriced for the existing grade, and in general that's very difficult to do with certified coins.

  • You have a great eye for them. Do you keep them in an album?

    No album, and I've never sent one in to be certified, though I will shortly.
    I really dislikes slabs, especially NGC's. The coin is buried so deep under that plastic and they don't photograph worth a darn. I enjoy handling my coins. I enjoy cleaning them up a little (those I feel could benefit from it), tucking them in the self-adhesive cardboard holders, cataloguing them, taking them out and re-photographing them when I learn a new trick, and so on. Slabs place too great a distance between my coins and me, and albums, though nice for presentation, don't quite have the same utility. To each his own, I guess.

  • I would rather have my coins in an album. It is easier to see which dates I have and which ones I need to get. I am still constantly taking them out to look at them. I have a document on my computer to list the grade and price paid for the coins.

    You've developed a good, selective eye for your coins, Guy.

    What you need is an album like I have for my set.

    I have it in an Eagle album, what's neat about it is that each coin has to be holdered seperatly.

    The holder splits in half, with a mylar cover that holds the coin.

    The holders slip into the album, and are the size of standard "flips".

    They are easy to remove individually and view.

    Not cheap...........but neither are the coins that go in them, either.....
