<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2454742, member: 24314&quot;]I do not know how long you have collected, how advanced you are or how rich you are NEVERTHELESS, IMO anyone who pays $$$$ for a common Lincoln cent because it grades higher than MS-66 is an ignorant <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />FOOL!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is why:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. There is no guarantee that the coin will not deteriorate in the slab.&nbsp; An MS-70 can drop to a 64 and the &quot;red&quot; can easily go to red-brown.&nbsp; You are out of luck here if that happens and $$$$ can turn to $$ (Nothing Special) really fast. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2.&nbsp; 95% of the coin dealers/collectors could not tell the difference between an MS-67, MS-68, or MS-69 Red coin although every one of them would tell you they could! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3.&nbsp; From experience I can tell you that many MS-66 coins slabbed by ICG or ANACS are the equal of many PCGS or NGC MS-67&#039;s and even some 68&#039;s.&nbsp; Nevertheless, the truth is that any PCGS coin will be considered more desirable. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do some research and look at the desirable coins $$$$ will buy.&nbsp; Then purchase an ANACS, ICG MS-65 or 66 common Lincoln for $30 that is just as nice as the $$$$ PCGS coin and spend the rest of your money on A REAL COIN!&nbsp; Let the FOOLS speculate on the junk and you should come out far ahead in the future. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
