<p>[QUOTE="IBetASilverDollar, post: 3008306, member: 85251"]To answer your question sometimes it's worth paying the premium and other times it's not. It depends on the series, the person's preference as well as the exact coins in question (you know the old saying about coins and holders). </p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I would never even consider paying for an MS68 38-D Buffalo for instance where you'll need to shell out $5k+ and you can get an absolutely knock your socks off 66 or 67 for $100-200 instead. I do however consistently shell out multiples of the grade below for my type set example because often it is worth it to me. I don't care about registry points but I do care about getting high quality coins for the long term that I won't tire of. Unfortunately those ones cost more than others (even if they're not the higher grade - quality costs in this hobby).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
