[QUOTE="mach330, post: 1066859, member: 25161"]I'm considering starting a set of MS-70 or PR-70 ASE or AGE coins, wanting only the best coins. I've never bought graded coins before and there are a lot of options (NGC, PCGS, UCAM, DCAM, First Strike, Early Release, Burnished, Uncirculated, Proof, different color labels, etc etc) so I'm looking for a little bit of help.. First off, does it matter which grading company I choose? (I will stick with them for the whole set, so that the slabs are the same). From what I can see on APMEX's website, I prefer the look of the PCGS holders (correct me if I am wrong but they are clear like the mint's proof sets?). I will end up ordering a few of the cheaper dates first, to make sure I like what I am getting and don't make a mistake on an expensive item, and slowly add to the collection over the years. Any help/advice is appreciated, thanks! EDIT: Also, is there anything wrong with purchasing graded coins online such as from APMEX, Coast to Coast, MintProducts etc?[/QUOTE]
