<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2621415, member: 15062&quot;]If you&#039;re a collector who just wants to complete a collection you can enjoy and be proud of then the number grade of each coin you have is immaterial.&nbsp; It only matters that you like its looks and that it fits in well with your other coins.&nbsp; On the other hand, grading a coin with the maximum number you can get matters only when you want to sell a coin and get the maximum profit from it.&nbsp; You may happily buy a coin graded by a TPG as 64; you&#039;ll also happily sell that same coin for profit if you can get a TPG to raise the grade to 66.</p><p><br /></p><p>You may say that you want nearly perfect examples in your set but, really, there&#039;s little in-hand visual difference between 60 and 63 and 66</p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW (nothing), I have many coins in my type set that were in graded holders when I bought them and I broke every one of them out of its holder because I collect coins, not holders.&nbsp; Other people&#039;s (TPGs) opinions are meaningless to me; it&#039;s my set and only my opinion matters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
