<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedTiger, post: 1113240, member: 19098&quot;]It is a complex topic. Opinions vary. For moderns, buying direct from the U. S. mint, and keeping the original mint packaging is another way many collect. Personally, I prefer certified, though I still buy some raw coins. For many years, certified was a good guarantee of authentication, but this is becoming less true as a flood of fake slabs have come to the market (especially Ebay and Craigslist). Personally, I don&#039;t see much point in the PF70 or MS70 grades, but as I always say, collect what you like and enjoy the hobby. Do be aware that a 70 in one holder often sells for a different price than a 70 in another company&#039;s holder. Search the Teletrade auction archives to get an idea of current differences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
