<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 21227365, member: 100459"]I buy a lot of current coins from the Mint, mainly, because I kind of know what I am getting. The only coins that I sent in was to NGC. I had bought a Liberty Eagle and a Liberty Head Double Eagle from a local (30 miles) dealer that were raw. The dealer offered to take them to a show he was going to. They were certified by NGC. The Eagle came back MS61. The Double Eagle came back Details, UNC scratch of face. I did buy the MMIX Ultra High Relief Gold Coin. The dealer bought it from a collector. I was new to the grading, except that expensive. should be graded. The MMIX was graded by PCGS MS68. I mentioned it several years ago and was advised to sell it. I like it. It came with the Mint's shipping box, the wood box it was displayed in, the book that the Mint included. Overall, I think I got a good investment at $1,500 in about 2010.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
