<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 1840371, member: 307&quot;]well, IMHO, it&#039;s not a good deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Alleged Benefit #1&quot; - If having a coin certified by ANACS carried the premium that NGC or PCGS slabs would, then I&#039;d say yes the certifications have a value IF the submitter knows what coins to submit or even owns raw coins that would benefit from certification.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Alleged Benefit #2&quot; -Honestly, wood is one of the worst places to store coins. Most experts recommend storing them in inert containers. So, unfortunately, I am afraid that these &quot;Red Oak Presentation Boxes&quot; will leach gasses that will tone your coins, but that is purely conjecture on my part.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Alleged Benefit #3&quot; - The coin is graded MS-70 First Day Of Issue. Well, again, the ANACS market perception makes this coin trade roughly like raw bullion would and any benefit from the certification simply doesn&#039;t appear in the marketplace. They certified over 16,000 of these FDI coins alone, so again, no premium.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are getting a 2014 Silver American Eagle in a nice holder, but for most novice collectors, I think that they&#039;d be better served buying a PCGS MS-70 (if you MUST have a certified bullion coin) for $58 from moderncoinwholesale.com and skip all of the extra stuff that you don&#039;t want to pay for.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link: <a href="http://www.moderncoinwholesale.com/p-1706-pre-order-2014-silver-american-eagle-ms70-pcgs.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.moderncoinwholesale.com/p-1706-pre-order-2014-silver-american-eagle-ms70-pcgs.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.moderncoinwholesale.com/p-1706-pre-order-2014-silver-american-eagle-ms70-pcgs.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>or you could just wait a few weeks and buy a raw one for under $35 from a local dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
