<p>[QUOTE="DW-coins, post: 1308108, member: 33380"]One thing that has not been added to the list of reasons to or not to get your coins graded is that of estate liquidity and helping out your heirs when dispensing of your collection. If your collection contains coins that would average $150 - $200 ea or higher, then I would say getting them graded may be a good idea. Here's my reasoning - Leaving an expensive but raw coin collection to your heirs opens up the possibility that one of your numbnut grandkids will sell your collections for pennies on the dollar. Moreover, having your coins graded make it infinitely easier for your family to properly evaluate your collections true worth as all the subjectivity of their price is removed. And even that numbnut grandkid can read a price chart vs. grade and thou he/she may still sell them for pennies on the dollar, you've atleast stacked the cards in his/her favor. </p><p><br /></p><p>If, however, your coins are valued below $50-$75 ea then grading them all may just be a waste of good money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
