<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 202711, member: 8033&quot;]An excellent point samjimmy. I DID buy the coin and not the holder but someday I will sell the coin AND the holder. Unfortunate but true. I have 8 small mottos from AG to MS63. Most, if not all, will eventually end up in a PCGS slab.</p><p>I love my coins but eventually will sell them or leave them in PCGS slabs for my wife. I have no children and won&#039;t have any dealer take her to the cleaners. That&#039;s part of what&#039;s so cool about coin collecting. You can enjoy them all of your life then sell them to someone else that will enjoy them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I call my coins my &quot;401clembo&quot; as it were. Love the hell out of the hobby but am a long term realist as well.</p><p>I have not had any problems with PCI coins but they are knocked for inconsistency. PCGS is the BIG name and everyone knows it.</p><p>Should I suddenly leave this world would my wife get more money from an XF40 PCGS coin or an XF45 PCI coin. Willing to bet the PCGS would get better money for the holder only (and I still believe this coin would go XF45 by PCGS). Once again unfortunate but true.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wife can read a Greysheet and a Coin Prices. That and my coin collecting friends could help. She can list an auction on Feepay to get top dollar. I&#039;ve taught her how to scan coins as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line is that I&#039;ll want top dollar possible for that coin when it&#039;s time to part. It will be worth the extra $30 now to realize an extra $100 later. Does that math make any sense?</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought the coin and not the holder but someday someone will buy the coin and pay extra for the holder. Hey, at least I&#039;m not planning to put it in an AU58 SGS holder. Now THAT would be wrong.</p><p>Thanks for your input.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
