if you have the coin graded does that increase its value? these are the coins in question 93 94 95 96 97 silver proofs and a 79 clear S
The short answer is, yes. Does that mean that it's going to be worth more than what you paid to have it graded? No. You can easily lose money.
I'd have to disagree, its not worth more money. People will pay more for a graded coin than a raw coin, mainly because the needfor someone else's opinion on the grade, and generally either can't grade or don't have trust in their ability to grade.
Grading does NOT "add" value as much as it "insure's" value for the "grade" based upon a panel of professional graders and what "they" are willing to guarantee, in terms of money, what the coin is worth. Grading has always been about and will always be about money and the ONLY aspect of professional grading services such as PCGS and NGC is that they are willing to back their assigned grade with cash based upon the coins "current market value". This is not to say that if you overpay for a graded coin that the TPG's will guarantee your investent, but it is to say that they will guarantee the coin upto its "current market value". This is why professionally graded coins bring more money in the open market than their raw counterparts.
So good to see that Cessna Jockey posting again...... Having a coin holdered will make it easier to sell in the marketplace. More folks will be amiable to purchasing the wares. As for added value? Not always.......
