<p>[QUOTE=&quot;countrydanny, post: 181274, member: 7379&quot;]i recently sold off my collection and do not have any plans on starting again the reason being </p><p>that i have not been able to find anyone that agrees are can come to the same conclusion</p><p>concerning certified and graded coins and i am trying to find some solid ground to help me understand </p><p>&nbsp;thye truth as to the real facts concerning coin collecting&nbsp; and i know that the first rule that aplies is to</p><p>&nbsp;collect what you like. now here is where i get confused i have been to some local shows where they </p><p>present all coins in flips and they tell me not to waste my time and money on graded and cert coins</p><p>espiceally new coins because they over price everything.what they tell me is that they are only worth </p><p>face value plus the price of gradeing and certification.???[ how true is this }??? for example the last </p><p>coin in my collection that i traded off was a 2005 silver eagle B.S. NGC cert &amp; graded M S 70</p><p>&nbsp;after showing this coin to a variety of dealers at quite a few local shows i recieved a simular answer</p><p>man i hope that you did not spend a lot of money for that coin { my answer 165.00 } thier answer</p><p>&nbsp;thats too much.and it has left a bad taste in my mouth ever since,what they did tell me being that they</p><p>only delt in pre dated coins that the older coins would be a better to collect . my first and last coins</p><p>&nbsp;were from inb and after further investigation never again they grade almost everything ms 70</p><p>with a few coins being the older ones the do not and im really surprised that they dont given thier</p><p>reputation , so if anyone can help me understand what is going on please do so,all views and opinions</p><p>welcomed.</p><p>thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
