<p>[QUOTE="Deplorabledan, post: 2804862, member: 88896"]Well for example, the 1881 is a 25$ coin on eBay as is. IMO it's an ms65 coin without the rim damage. So subtract a grade and make it ms64. 1881-o in ms64 books at 175. Probly could get 140 on eBay. So if you take the 22 I paid, plus 25 for grading and shipping (ngc economy) then my cost is 47 dollars, in which I could net about 100 on eBay, or keep for my personal collection. I don't like to keep ungraded Morgans because it's like the situation with shroedingers cat.(the cat is neither dead nor alive until the box is opened) . Raw coins could grade better, or worse than expected. Or come back details. I, for one, like to take mystery out of the equation and know what I have and what it's worth. For even common dates, grading even ms63, would allow me to break even with the coin, if they grade 64 or 65 I make money. But raw, they will bring little if any more than what I paid[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
