Art Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 Nice article Alan. Among my sample slabs I have a SAC from the FUN luncheon in Orlando a few years back and a Statehood Quarter from an ANA Course that I took - Coins in the Classroom. They are all rather hard to find and I agree with you that the prices are moving up rapidly. It is quite a challenge to put together a decent collection of sample slabs.

acan451 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi Art You are correct, it is getting harder to put a sample set together. That being said I just won two wheat Penny' for $1.27 each. Also I just saw a Kennedy sell for under $12.00. So bargains are out there, but yes they can be very hard to find. If you keep an eye on the sample sites you habetterbeter chance of snagging a deal. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 You're getting some great finds. What sites are you using to find these bargains? (If you don't mind my asking.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Art I don't mind at all. I usually go to eBAY type sample slabs intosearchserch bar, then I make a shortcut of the site tdesktopaktop. Usually any new sample slabs will be added to the page, so when I take a look I can see whatever has been added. Some times I have I will make two pages with short cuts to my desktop.. you also get to know the sellers who tend to sell samplesof sampes slabs. Hope that helped All the Best Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching them on ebay for a while and have a saved search for them but haven't found anything great in quite a while. You must be beating me to any goodies that show up. (Only kidding!)
