<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 815816, member: 3726&quot;]Doug I tend to agree with you in principle. But I still believe if I spend the $30 to get some of these coins graded I will net more of my money back than the grading fee.&nbsp; Plus if my heirs sell them on ebay just being in a genuine holder will increase the amount recovered - more than the $30 to $50 spend on the grading. Not talking about $100 coins in this case. In my case I have maybe 10 of these coins and then I have maybe 10 fun coins. The fun coins are just ones I want to get graded, knowing full well I will lose the grading fees - unless one of them comes back a couple points higher than I think. If you can&#039;t tell in no rush to get them graded. My bust halves and the majority of my large cents will stay raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus as I previously mentioned the thrill of buying a raw coin and getting it to grade out at your grade or better - makes this hobby fun even if I lose the grading costs.&nbsp; Kind of like golf - you don&#039;t remember the 100 bad strokes, but you remember the one good one and it keeps you coming back. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I understand your reasoning and they are good REALISTIC points - but lets not suck all the fun out of the hobby. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
