I used to collect coins and enjoyed the hobby very much. You actually could look through change or rolls of coins from the bank and find some scarce dates. Then came the speculators followed by the SLABBERS!!! BOO!! The fine hair splitting between different grades was rediculous. So much for coin collecting. I have been chipping for several years now and I think its a great hobby. We sure do not need slab chips to confuse and take advantage of our hobby. Even if any given chip could go at a low price, I will not bid on any slabbed chip!!! End of soap box oratory!!!
