<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 33147, member: 112&quot;]Howdy Chris - Welcome to the Forum !!</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ve pretty much heard both sides of buying slabbed &amp; raw. But what you didn&#039;t hear is that there is little difference in cost between the two unless you purchase ultra grades. That being the case - I prefer the slabbed coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a couple of reasons for that - one being that the coin will be easier to sell at a later date if the need arises. Another would be the protection afforded by the slab. Yet another would be that you are certain the coin is authentic - there are counterfeits on the market. To me - that&#039;s enough right there to make the slabbed coins worth the extra few doallrs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your question about comparing the MS grades to a Proof set purchased from the mint isn&#039;t really one you can answer since the Proof coins are not made the same way as the business strikes. You just can&#039;t compare one to the other. And the Proof versions will cost a good deal more. It just depends on what you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
