[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 4765904, member: 114169"]Thanks for the responses guys. A lot of factors I had not considered. I think my greatest conundrum in this is that SOME of my coins, the value varies GREATLY with a few degrees of the grade, more so than the cost of certification, while the base value of the coin is low. For instance, if a VF coin is worth $80 and an XF is worth $150, if [B]almost[/B] makes sense when the grade of a raw coin is hugely subjective. My thoughts were that certification could remove most of the arguments over grade. This becomes even more debatable on MS state coins. But if the MS62 is worth only $60 . . . . the law of diminishing returns kicks in. I can see where the polycarbonate shell could help an eventual sale. I am older now and probably won't be adding to the stable, so to speak. I was curious from the respect of trying to find a way to assure fair value for my estate, while making sales a bit more seamless while still sucking air . . . . . I'm conflicted. It's a much easier decision if my coins were worth $1k+ each. Sunk cost per coin needs to make sense. Z[/QUOTE]
