[QUOTE="MercuryBen, post: 3209238, member: 44521"]Sometimes an example works best to explain my perspective. I purchased this 1920 in a 64FB old NGC holder for $85. I had no intent to resell. I cracked, submitted to PCGS and it went 66FB. And I still have no intent to sell. But my enjoyment has increased because: (1) I enjoy viewing the Trueview whenever I want. (2) I enjoyed the validation of being correct about how PCGS would grade it (I actually was hoping for 65FB) (3) I have a more personal stake in the coin as part of my collection. I have a greater sense of pride and history in it. (4) I more than quadrupled the value of the coin. (5) I continued to increase my grading expertise. (6) If I ever DO sell because I find a nicer 1920 or my tastes change, I will have a positive ROI. (7) If I never sell, one of my two sons will inherit a more valuable coin to keep or sell as they please. [ATTACH=full]832793[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]832795[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
