<p>[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2266014, member: 76194"]I'm not too familiar with the bullion market, but does burnished make it more expensive? I always thought the point of billions was to invest in silver, but as someone who is getting back into Numismatics I was surprised to walk into a coin shops the other day and find dozens of PCGS and NGC American Eagles with an MS-69 and MS-70 grade, and dealers asking for far above the melt value. Did I miss something? Of course a coin never meant for circulation, struck with a modern press, and literally walked from the mint to NGC or other grading service will get a high grade. All you have to do is buy a tube from the mint and you'll get a dozen MS-69 and MS-70 coins. I must have missed something while I was away from the hobby, because I don't get any of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: sorry if I come off as ranting, but its a genuine question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
