[QUOTE="NathansCoin, post: 322812, member: 6761"]YES and NO! YES: If you are buying coins to have a 99% stable resellable item value. If you buy it at a common known book value at the time with intent to have it for some time. Then its worth a small premuim. Why if graded by a trusted company, you are paying for the safty of having a coin that is 99.7% correctly graded as well proven authentic and also in a safe storage to protect it. N0: If you are collecting for the pure and simple pleasure of collecting rather then just investing. Either way at the end of it all you are investing. But understand that if a MS65 1881 morgan is slabbed and its sitting next to a MS65 1881 morgan unslabbed. they are both still the same thing. Just some one took the time to drop 15 to 30 dollars to insure its long term safty.[/QUOTE]
