Another spouse thread. Who will not slab?

jhusman

If I got my order in on time (which I think I did) I will be a keeper of this coin - unless it goes absolutley crazy. I won't be slabbing it, as it will just go in my collection, and I think the packaging is pretty nice. I also don't think there will be too many left unslabbed.

And you?

COINB0Y

I'll get it FS'd slabbed. For the two coins I'll keep, that is pretty cheap.

TwoSides2aCoin

You know I'm a KoolAid guy, but the spouses look best in the raw

GoldenEyeNumismatics

I will NOT slob

ttown

Why bother? I like mine in the orginial goverment packages, the way you guys slab these they might be rare in the future.

Kaelasdad

Im wondering, since it going to be very difficult to go bulk on these, and thats where the FS label is available, just how many will be slabbed at all? Might be very tough indeed to get a nice 70 FS.

bluelobster

No first stike early release for me....although I am thinking of getting a last strike or late release designation...i figure they will be much rarer ;~)

But seriously isn't the mint packaging nicer than a slab? maybe it's just me...

You don't have to send in a 'Bulk' lot of these to get the FS label. Just send in the extra 10 bucks.

GritsMan

No slab here. Why ruin so much of the coin's aesthetic beauty? Of course, I hope everyone else DOES slab. It'll make mine that much more special later on...

I will not be slabbing. I like the coins the way they come from the mint.

SNMAN

keeping it sealed for now

ModernCrapNut

I'll sell mine in the unopened box.

I haven't decided. The presentation case looks nice, however getting it slabbed would cut down on some of the bulk and make for easier storing. I'm thinking selling the Unc and keeping the proof, or vice versa depending upon seeing the actual coins. Of course, assuming I get them from the mint.

What's the requirement to get the FS desig ? Does it have to be sent in unopened ? within how many days after what time ?

Thanks

Actually not slabing cuts down on the bulk for me. I remove the coin and put it in my safty deposit box and store the box in a truck I have upstairs. I like my women raw

OPA

I would not slab, if the coin does not qualify for a First Strike label. Ebay sales for the First Spouse coins are a good barometer. In addition, NGC graded coins are selling at a discount compared to the same graded PCGS coins. (At times, at a substantial discount)

BECOKA

The presentation case is pretty big, has anyone tried to see if it will hold the slab?

Even if you slab it, won't most people still be looking for the OPG along with the SLAB? I know if I was going to buy later on I would be looking for that. IMHO

$10 additional fee....does not have to be send in the unopened box if submitted withing the prescribed time frame, which will be published by PCGS. In the past, it has been 30 days after the Mint starts to mail out the item.

The few modern Mint products that I own have all been bought raw with original government packaging and I did this specifically because I did not want to buy the slabbed product. Therefore, if I were to get the Jefferson First Spouse coins then I would keep them raw regardless of my intention of selling or keeping in my collection.

Rarity

I'll keep the coin in OGP because I like its authenticity look.

Only time I prefer to buy slabbed coins was when they often arrived in broken capsules (ex: $5 San Francisco Old Mint gold).

I'm sure at some point this has been answered, but I have not seen the answer - Although I see otherwise here, I thought to get the "FS" designation it had to be submitted in the origional unopened package...if you do this, do you get the origional mint packaging returned to you, so that if it were desired at a later date by whoever that it could be returned to origional as received from the mint packaging?

ozzyfan269

Add $2 per coin to get OGP back and make a notation in the "other" section of the submission form.

Add $10 per coin for FS and make a notation in the "other" section of the submission form. Coins must be submitted within 30 days of shipping from mint or must be in mint sealed packaging showing a shipping date within that time period.

JoeForex

mint package on these are wonderful. slabs will weaken the presentation and they are def better looking in the raw.

Baley

One of each of the MS and Proof are staying in their mint packaging, and will live in the same safety deposit box as these raw beauties

Casman

Baley, Nice coins!!!!!!

i sent my MW in the capsules only becaue it was before the FS deadline

after the deadline they need to be in sealed mint shipping box with a ship date prior to cut-off date

i agree. pcgs first strike 70`s will be cash cows. the rest will settle to a little above mint pricing after the initial craziness

tychojoe

I love that presentation and that collection!
