<< <i>Sometimes I purchase pairs or groups of coins, as assembled by a previous discriminating collectors, even when I might not need more than one. Other times, I might purchase a coin that goes well together with another coin, even though I do not necessarily need the second. I have found that the visual effect of one pleasing coin can be synergistic when combined with a second, such that 1+1=4.
Most recently, I purchased a pair of early 1900's QE's, largely because the coins were nice and looked good together. Previoulsy, I have purchased a larger group of Barber dimes assembled by one collector and half of a short set of Walkers, also assembled by the same collector. I even buy things I do not necessarily collect just because the grouping is so appealing.
Wrap 'em up... I will have $20,000 in Zimbabwe dollars in the mail to you tommorrow morning...
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
