Everyone will *never* come to the same conclusion</p><p>concerning certified and graded coins.&nbsp; A graded coin is simply the opinion of condition by one or more people.&nbsp; The worth of that opinion varies (which grading company graded it, and the person considering the graded coin). Also, as you mentioned, there are some places which just slap MS-70 labels on everything.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think if you would have stuck by rule #1 (collect what you like) you wouldn&#039;t have spent so much money on something you don&#039;t collect, nor understand.&nbsp; Next time, get one in an air-tite, or even raw (so you can hold it and look at it, etc.)&nbsp; Here&#039;s something for $15.50 and you don&#039;t have to get off the couch (delivered price).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/2005-Gem-Silver-Eagle-1-ounce-au-bu-airtite-container_W0QQitemZ170065187572QQihZ007QQcategoryZ39488QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/2005-Gem-Silver-Eagle-1-ounce-au-bu-airtite-container_W0QQitemZ170065187572QQihZ007QQcategoryZ39488QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/2005-Gem-Silver-Eagle-1-ounce-au-bu-airtite-container_W0QQitemZ170065187572QQihZ007QQcategoryZ39488QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
