[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 904361, member: 17557"]If I were you I'f hold off on getting those raw ones graded. (Excluding the 09-SVDB, assuming it's even grade-able) Grading is a really expensive thing to do, and not worth it if your coins aren't valued over how much it is going to cost you to send it in. Example, sending in a common date MS63 Morgan Dollar to PCGS. This is almost pointless, there are thousands of MS63's out there, a very common grade, you'd be better off buying one slabbed. Just because we say buy the coin not the slab, means you shouldn't ever buy a coin in a slab. :rolleyes: In most ways slabs are good, they do help you learn how to grade, along with buying slabs, you need to see coins in person, which will also help you determine grading. Here is what you said yesterday. You haven't learned it all yet, just give it some time, learn a little more, then move on to bigger purchases whether they buy raw or slabbed.[/QUOTE]
