[QUOTE="au79coins, post: 1245797, member: 32645"]Thanks for the input. For the first time ever, there is a well-worn (handled) UHR on eBay with dings and the like. As time goes on, I suppose condition of un-slabbed coins that are available to be handled may see condition degradation over time and put more pressure on unslbbed coin sales.. This could add value to slabbed examples, maybe. But I suspect most people won't be abusing or neglecting their UHR's so this is likely to be the exception, not the rule. My guess is most UHR's that aren't slabbed will never leave their US Mint holder - but who knows the % of this?? I have credit-vouchers with PCGS to have all of my UHR's graded for Free (regular service, less shipping and admin. fees and my cost to mail the registered and insured). I'm really on the fence if I should follow through with it. No doubt a slabbed coined adds some piece of mind to lot of buyers out there should I later sell them, but that doesn't seem to have slowed the sale of unslabbed coins one bit. In the end, I own these coins as a collector first and foremost, but am thinking down the road one day should I sell them. Still on the fence what to do, but leaning towards getting them graded.[/QUOTE]
