    100% of my "main" collection is slabbed.

    100% of my "odds & ends / world coins" collection is raw.

    All raw now. They weren't all bought that way though.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.
  • MrHalfDimeMrHalfDime Posts: 3,440 ✭✭✭✭
    100% raw, although like OKBustchaser, they weren't all purchased raw.

  • marmacmarmac Posts: 1,436 ✭✭✭
    maybe 5% slabbed
  • DismeguyDismeguy Posts: 496 ✭✭✭
    Of course NGC/PCGS registry set seated dimes are slabbed. Balance of plate coins within the www.seateddimevarieties.com web-book are estimated to be 20% slabbed/80% raw. It makes no sense to me to slab AU and lower grade dimes unless they are rare dates. Accurately graded coins sell themselves when the time comes.

    Around 98 or 99% raw. The slabs are just because the coin was bought that way and I don't remove them.

    As a percentage of the number of coins, about 95% raw, 5% slabbed. As a percentage of 'value', I would guess 60/40.

    Are you referring to value or number of coins? My answers are very different depending on your intent...

    I'd guess 95%+ of my coins are raw, but 90%+ of the value is in certified.

    100% Morgans (61 actual coins) slabbed.

    Everything else (100's of US & foreign coins) raw.

    Um... Percentage wise? No clue.

    95% raw, 5% slabbed.

    oh . . about 75% slabbed.
  • CoxeCoxe Posts: 11,139 ✭
    Around 90% slabbed, all PCGS, NGC and ANACS except for a handful of rogue ICGs. Personally, I like my coins raw but if I want to sell or trade and they are not slabbed, I either have to take a lesser deal or pay to have them reencapsulated. Since I avoid problem coins, this is what I end up with. When I resume my early copper fetish, they'll be mostly bare nekkid ones.

    Rough estimate by sheer numbers, 40% slabbed, 60% raw. By value 75% slabbed 25% raw.

    Most of the raw stuff that amounts to anything are 19th century poltical tokens and medalets. I also have some medals that now might becoming more valuable. I've not checked the auction resaults in a while.

    95% certified.

    Except for a handful that are either at PCGS now or are about ready to go in, most of the rest are raw Mercuries and Walkers bought for my Dansco books.
    When in doubt, don't.
