    Just about all the classic coins in my Dansco 7070 (see link below) were slabbed when I bought them. Other than that, just a handful.

    The 1838 dime is an ex-NGC AU58. I wonder how many of the AU58 coins would come back MS if I ever get them reslabbed image

    Who knows, I have sent in tons of seated dimes all I thought were UNCs (except a few) all came back either AU58 or MS62

    what do you collect???

    Scandinavia and early 19th century Independent Latin America. And if I still collected US, it would be patterns, pioneer gold and colonials.

    Lots.

    Around a dozen or more, for my clipped Lincoln set. The most expensive coin in the set was broken out of an ANACS VF Details holder, here's a picture of it in its current home.

    None. I keep my key dates and valuable coins in slabs and substitute a common type coin for those slots.

    for albums, maybe 75 coins. For other collecting purposes(storage in intercept shield 2x2 holders), maybe fifty.

    None for albums...I have cracked every slabbed coin I have ever bought and put them in intercept shields, though.

    but why pay a premium for a slab to get a raw coin ?

    When you consider that many raw coins are overgraded and, hence, over priced by the seller, slabbed coins can actually be less expensive than their raw counterpart. Also, someone else already paid the slabbing fee and in many cases there is no real premium charged for the slab.

    Of course, when you consider that many slabbed coins are overgraded and hence, also overpriced by the seller it comes down to the same thing. Offer to pay what you think the COIN is worth. If the seller will not accept that, then pass.

    I have bought a lot of slabbed coins over the years. I have bought a lot of raw coins over the years. I have not--and will not--pay more for a coin in a piece of plastic than I would for the same coin raw. Why should I? It is going to be a raw coin again as soon as I get it home.
