<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmy_goodfella, post: 7421, member: 919&quot;]I can see both sides to this and see the benifits of both.I think its a little to early when you start out collecting to be going for the best&nbsp; i think its much better to get some good knowledge behind you first or you may hit the poor house and fast.Saying that in value terms there cant be anything better than something with rarity but the thing is a novice wants to hold his coins not look at them through plastic.I know i do, i want to hold them in my hand or lay them out on a table, maybe once you get out of the habit of doing this then more valuble coins will be the way to go.Ive been guilty of ripping the mint packaging off of 40 year old sovereigns but as the price diffrence in it in its packaging and out of it is only like 3-5 dollars i find it worth it just to hold it and poke around with it a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The idea of having a coin thats rare in a bag which you lose about 2k on if you open would drive me insane.Though you may not reap the greater rewards in value you can still enjoy a great hobby.I think the people that buy coins they get bagged then sell bagged without touching in-between are people in it only for the money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
