    Reverse of an '95-D dime I asked the Forum if they thought might get an FB if submitted. Currently there are 2 in 65, 2 in 66, and 2 in 67.

    I have been collecting for 35 years and now prefer raw coins. Mint state certified coins are not enjoyable to me anymore...I was never real good with fractions. image

    Don't know if it "concerns" me... it's actually a relief to hear such talk...

    I like coins in the raw...

    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    Welcome!image

    I didn't own a slabbed coin until 2006. A grading service has it's value, but I agree that holding a raw coin in your hand is the best way to appreciate it.

    Who doesn't love raw? Sadly, slabs and certified grades are sometimes important.

    I have purchased many slabbed coins over the years, but they are all raw now too. The ones I purchased raw are still that way.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I have preferred raw since Day 1, and still do. (Day one being May 2008...).

    I think its a no brainer that everyone who collects a series or more should have a least 1 or a handful examples of each series in raw form.

    Yes I tend to agree, and their easier to image image

    This is one of my favorites, just a great eye appealing piece. At least I think so....

    Raw rocks. Raw and crusty is even better.
