<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aschwars, post: 1159796, member: 28921&quot;]When I was at the santa clara coin show on saturday, I found that the least expensive </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>graded slabbed coin was $10. The coin itself was a modern presidential dollar that you</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>could get about the same contition if you went to the bank. Apperently, this was a good</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>price because it was in a &quot;bargain bin&quot;. I have seen the price hike up especially on good</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>condition (ms) coins. At the coin show, I saw wheat cents from the 1950&#039;s that had full</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>mint luster and were in great condition in sets for 10 dollars at the most. graded slabbed</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>coins in about the same condition seemed to be $20 minimum. can someone tell me why</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>it is worth so much to get a coin that is $20 raw for sometimes $50? I understand that</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>people want their coins authenticated, but can&#039;t you just go to a dealer for that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
