With classic coins you have a mature market, and really nice pieces can be very, very expensive. If a dealer acquires an exceptional 1935-S Peace dollar, you can be sure that this coin won’t be brought to market until it’s been sent in for certification. This coin nearly doubles in value for every notch up the MS grading scale it climbs, leaving precious little, if any, wiggle room for a buyer to come out ahead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
