It's not worth what you are willing to pay for it, unless you are the top bidder. Ask a handful of national dealers and they will tell you the same thing. Do you think it's a coicidence that that a popular member of this board has not one unslabbed coin on his entire price list that is not slabbed by NGS and PCGS? http://www.markfeldcoins.com/inventory.html This is not coincidence, it's smart business. |
Yes, indeed it is smart business.
NGC and PCGS are THE MOST RESPECTED grading companies, and demand a premium, OVER OTHER SLABBED COINS.
When it comes to coin buying, you buy coins and not slabs, that is how it works.
If I can find a nice ANACS morgan dollar I'd be alright sweet, but I might crossover at NGC, for two things, to see if ANACS over/under graded it from my or NGC standards, or so I can add it to my registry set
