Message:: [QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 7351898, member: 40340"]Best example I can give is my 1857 large cent graded "Genuine, Surface Damage" and on the reverse "not gradeable" which makes it a "details" coin.. This coin raw.. at the time I was buying it, would have sold for around 150 if not much higher in ... that details grade let me buy it for $27 dollars... presently it lists for $60 in G4 and up to over 200 in f12... That's what a details grade does to the "value" of the coin and is why many will often crack them out before selling because that label destroies any resale value... On the other hand it allowed me to get a beautiful example of a coin I wanted but could never have otherwise afforded.. If I ever decided to sell it would come out of the plastic as raw I don't doubt I could easily get $200+ for it now.... so my advice is... buy the coin NOT THE PLASTIC/GRADE <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> PS if you want a better look at the coin click on the link in my signature, it is the 1st coin in the album <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]1282078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1282079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
