<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2543672, member: 66&quot;]Not always especially from the early years.&nbsp; The mint did not give these coins special handling and neither did the dealers/collectors.&nbsp; They were just bullion coins.&nbsp; And they weren&#039;t slabbed back then either.&nbsp; PCGS had just stated up, NGC didn&#039;t even exist, the services were not being used that heavily at the time and they did not have bulk submission discounts then.&nbsp; And at the time very few coins were receiving grades over MS-65.&nbsp; It just wasn&#039;t worth paying $30 to submit an $8 coin that would be worth $10 - $15 if it came back as a 65 or wonders a 66.&nbsp; If they were slabbed they went to PCI or ACG because they were cheaper.&nbsp;&nbsp; The wide spread slabbing of ASE&#039;s was years in the future.&nbsp; These were just bullion pieces and treated as such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
