[QUOTE="treehugger, post: 1294256, member: 28451"]Yeah! What he said! I am in the same situation as you. I purchased only 1 set, with the intention of keeping it. I am not having it graded because I will know how much I like the coins once I see them. I don't need to pay some corporate dweebe to tell me how much I should like them. As Green said, the majority of these will grade at a 69 anyway, if the Mint is up to its typical standards and the difference between a 69 and a 70 is sometimes even difficult to spot. A lot of it is an ego thing. If, on the other hand, you are going to sell them and they look good, as others have said, it might be a good idea to have them graded because for some reason, even though there is only a small difference in appearance between a 69 and a 70, there is often a big difference in price. Anyway, this has all been a fun ride so far. It is interesting to watch things unfold in terms of secondary market set prices, etc. I am curious to see what the statistics end up being on the number of 70s graded and what the average price will be for the 70-grade reverse proof and the uncirculated-s that are sold separately.[/QUOTE]
