<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave92029, post: 1720458, member: 26916&quot;]I have a complete set of NGC PF69 ASE coins, so PF69 is the grade that I want. </p><p><br /></p><p>I could not buy the coins from the Mint, ship them to NGC, get them graded, and shipped back to me, for less than what MCM is charging me, so this is a Very Good Deal for ME. I have bought many items from MCM in the past and have been very satisfied.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one PF70,&nbsp; a 2005 ASE, and even under high magnification, I can not see that this PF70 is better in any way than my PF69 coins. There is generally a large premium associated with PF70 coins, but rarely any difference that can been seen. I don&#039;t believe in spending money for something&nbsp; I can not see.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a Set Collector, buying Graded coins has great value to me. My bullion is purchased in Mint tubes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Value, to me of a graded set, is that an acknowledged third party has verified&nbsp; that all the coins in my set are what I say they are. Therefore, when I&#039;m ready to sell my set, the potential purchases really do not need to physically inspect or evaluate my collection. They are all NGC PF69. The quality and content are guaranteed. Once I provide a coins NGC number, anyone can go to the NGC web site and verify what the coin is and it&#039;s grade. This enhances the value and marketability of my set in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bullion is bullion. It&#039;s either pure silver or it isn&#039;t, and grading does not add any value to bullion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Grading provides an additional safeguard when&nbsp; purchasing coins like Chinese Pandas, where there are numerous fakes. The sealed NGC slab provides me the purchaser with confidence that I&#039;m buying what I&#039;m paying for.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s just much easier to sell a graded coin than a coin in OMP in the secondary marketplace, and therefore, graded coins command a higher price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
