<p>[QUOTE=&quot;definer, post: 1593192, member: 39713&quot;]I&#039;m new to the &quot;collecting game&quot; but have decided, like anything else, to diversify. I have a number of &quot;bullion coins&quot; primarily bought for the intrinsic value that are ungraded and, most of which (if not all), will never be graded. I also have a number of graded coins that I have purchased in the MS/PF 69/70 range that are, at least according the the TPGs, worth more than I paid. </p><p><br /></p><p>I track the value of both against the spot market. On my ungraded ASEs, I&#039;m averaging just over $5 above intrinsic value. My graded ASEs average is well above the intrinsic value but the TPGs &quot;value&quot; gives me &quot;worth&quot; of nearly 40% above what I paid. I find myself becoming more oriented to buying slabbed coins but I still occasionally will add a raw coin if I can get a good price. I intend to keep a 2/1 raw/graded ratio and will slow down what I buy in order to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
