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

    I have 20 to 30 and usually get them from local shows plus I have some of the early ones that were confiscated by the Secret Service.

    I have a bagful in my "box o' stuff", including a bunch of flat pieces -- roughly the size and thickness of paper money, but still labeled as wooden nickels. I keep hoping to find someone who cares.

    They give them out at coin shows, and I usually take one.. then lose it afte I get home... every once in a while one shows up in a sock drawer or the utensil drawer... or some such place... Cheers, RickO

    I have some from my dad. He would get ones for free cups of coffee from truck stops or other misc things.
