It's newer but MS69 is a great number, not that you couldn't find this out there. I just figured for 13 bucks it's great considering it costs more to submit a coin. Plus, I like it the Susan B Anthony dollars. What do you all think? Good investment? Or poor choice?
Way to go. Nice coin, nice pickup. Make someone else slab that coin. That's the way I do it. Enjoy collecting but investment wise, this coin is not the way. Collect because you like what you see. Collect because you love the hobby, but please don't collect because you think you're gonna make money. And if, in the future, the little lady does appreciate in value, then you're ahead of the game.
Yeah, not a horrible deal, but not a great long-term investment either. Definitely cool to get your first slabbed coin though!!!! Just don't fall into the trap of factoring in what it costs to slab a coin when you're going to buy slabbed coins, it's pretty much irrelevant unless you really need the slabbed coin for a Registry Set or something like that. You can often find slabs way cheaper than the cost of grading. Eariler this month I actually found two old small ANACS slabs with silver Roosevelt dimes in them for $2 each. The dimes pretty much melt for $2 each now so I had to buy them up I'm sure they cost way more than $2 each to get certified though.
Sorry if the following is off topic from the thread; BTW nice pick-up! I like Anthony dollars because they are part of my city's history. Susan B. Anthony became the first woman known to vote by illegally voting in Rochester, NY on November 5, 1872: http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/anthony/sbahome.html
