<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 7915053, member: 17665"]Correct, provided you have deep enough pockets to be able to afford one. As [USER=111067]@expat[/USER] said, finding high grades such as in your examples of graded coins, in circulation is highly unlikely. Even finding one in a fresh solid date roll is going to be hard unless you have a firm grasp on grading. Even after 54 years of collecting and grading, I could not tell you the difference between a MS68 or MS69. The differences are so minute that even professional graders at TPG's can get this wrong. That's why some collectors crack their slabs and re-submit, hoping a different TPG will grade the coin higher, looking for that top pop coin and/or for a registry set. A lot of money can be wasted on this type of endeavor at around $30.00 a coin to do this. Some get lucky, many do not. The coins you are posting would be a waste of funds having graded or even hoping for a high grade, let alone a coin that was made with some fluke on it's surface like gas bubbles or the like. Enjoy the hobby, most do not get rich or even close, nor will you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
