[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4899106, member: 105098"]look, in a lot of cases, any modern circulation strike coin at MS67 and below isn't going to be worth the cost to get it graded because it's going to sell for like $10-$20 or so tops. Now if you know what you are doing and understand how to grade a coin, and find candidates that qualify for "better than MS67" and qualify for MS68 or higher, Yes, those sell for a premium, usually a couple thousand dollars really. How hard is it to find and get certified a 2006 P or D lincoln cent, not the satin finish mint set coin, but the circulation/business strike coin? Pretty darn hard. i'm not going to check populations of the various grading companies, but there are 8 total MS68 2006 P lincoln cents graded, and 11 2006-D graded onb their census. in the satin finish versions of 2006 from the mint sets, there are 25 P mintmark ones graded SP70, and 95 D mintmark graded SP69, none higher. it's what's known as "condition rarity" and people want the best of the best, with money, will pay for that. it's easy to find what you think is "perfect condition". However, that's usually not the case when it comes back from grading and it's MS65 or MS66 and worth less than the fees. You really have to understand how to grade coins (the type of coin you are searching also) and be able to identify what "perfect condition" actually is when you see it. FYI, from 2005-2010, the coins in the mint sets were satin finish and different from the circulation strike coins, a "completist" isn't going to be satisfied with the satin finish one in high grade and also want the business/circulation strike finish, which is why there's some added value to those years. When the mint set is the same finish, like since 2011 or before 2005, you can get a nice business/circulation strike coin example from the mint sets that are usually high grade MS67+ honestly though, most years the highest graded examples or "condition rarity" business strike coin can be a great payday. the exception is if the mint sets are really good and a lot of high grade examples watering down the demand and the sale prices.[/QUOTE]
