I keep telling you'all - this entire deck of cards ( modern high graded coins and stickers) is going to come tumbling down and then you can remember your old friend Ben who time and time again forewarned you of it! I guarantee that modern graded coins in ABCD MS & Pr.-69 are going to be used as doorstops and will trade at less (in some cases much less) than the original packaged material - and this original modern stuff will also be worth very little even in the original package. As a dealer, even I agree with that... I don't treat modern stuff any differently in a top tier holder then if it were raw sitting on my counter. __________________ Matt Dinger Lost Dutchman Rare Coins   02-27-2009, 02:59 AM   #2 (permalink) Pocket Change Coin Collector     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Eastern Iowa Posts: 1,173 As i was reading through the posts, I kept shaking my head and then I realized what the original question was - investment value. Of course, the COA cannot hurt the value - I guess that's another way of looking at it. Myself, I don't enjoy all the packaging. If you start collecting these things, it takes up space. I realize some unpack and put them in air-tites and save the packaging, but I'm nervous about handling pristine coins/Commems, etc. __________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know what I want, but I know how to get it   03-20-2009, 12:01 PM   #3 (permalink) elaine 1970 jasmine     Join Date: Jan 2007 Location: new york city Posts: 5,391 My Mood: actually, with coa and original box and sleeve. it will command at least 25% mark up on it.   03-20-2009, 01:26 PM   #4 (permalink) De Orc P &amp; R COMMISSAR     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: London. UK Posts: 8,131 My Mood: As long as the COA is from a reputable dealer or a reputable mint that is great but the thing is anyone can reproduce them if they want to spend a bit of time and effort, the same goes for the packing I use to work in the memrobilia buisness and the number of fake carded star wars items we seen was amazing LOL just wait till our chineses pals figure it out for modern bullion __________________ My Notes 1176 to date 02/06/09 http://www.banknotebank.com/?collection=De-Orc My Coins 2168 to date 02/06/09 http://www.omnicoin.com/?collection=De-Orc   03-22-2009, 01:58 AM   #5 (permalink) CappedBustDimes Senior Member     Join Date: May 2007 Posts: 426 What about when buying bullion...does having the assay docs. play a role in value or; more importantly, liquidity? __________________ http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/2818/...y230078a5a.gif   03-22-2009, 09:23 AM   #6 (permalink) Dollar1948 Senior Member   Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Toronto Posts: 374 My Mood: All I know is, I wouldn't dream of buying an Obama coin without the C.O.A.
