<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vegas Vic, post: 1842253, member: 58810&quot;]I love modern graded coins. They act as a sort of a heat sink and draw a lot of the money in the hobby as a whole. It lets me buy coins like</p><p><br /></p><p>1862 NGC Seated Liberty Half Dime NGC MS-63 ** EYE-CATCHI... (290988902928)</p><p><br /></p><p>For $292.10. It makes me laugh when I scroll past modern after modern crap in a slab actually selling for multiples of that. If it weren&#039;t for the modern slabs that money would most likely bid up what I like to think of as &quot;real&quot; coins. I know there are modern coins with true value- double dies, no s proof&#039;s ect. However&nbsp; it just amazes me that people buy these ms/pf 69-70 coins with no real value. Especially when you look at mintage and population reports. I was just looking at one where the mintage was 2,000,000 and the pf70 % was 5% of the total&nbsp; population graded. Then multiply it out there are 100,000 70&#039;s out there just waiting to be graded. Yes I know some will say only the best are submitted but really most of the coins are just in collector&nbsp; hands ungraded.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are 645 TOTAL all grades for this coin in ngc, and about the same all grades pcgs. And my coin even has killer toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please &quot;you&quot; the modern collecting guys keep competing for who has the best modern registry set and I&#039;ll keep collecting coins that start with 18**.&nbsp; God bless America . Go buy a bitcoin</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]306174[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
