In the funny ways of coin collectors and especially <i>those people</i> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> who buy into the 70 graded coins or who pursue <i>special designations</i> on slabbed coin&#039;s labels, you may well receive NGC graded coins that do not bear the Register Trade Mark on the AtB labels. Now, I wouldn&#039;t buy the coins because of this anymore than I&#039;d personally put out $169.99 for them, but someone else might, particularly if there appears to be a difference on future NGC labels later on.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Knowing this, you could of course <i>exploit</i> :secret: this situation. You could opt to sell the coins later and buy others for less with your profit, should such an opportunity arise. You could also sell them and roll that money into your &#039;specific focused&#039; area of collecting later on. If not, should nothing ever come of the Mint&#039;s bossing around NGC over the labels or you decide to hold onto these coins, you are a collector at heart and your passion drove you, beyond any rational insight that anyone can make to prove your actions right or wrong.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Good luck in your collecting pursuits and I hope you will truly enjoy your new pick ups. :smile</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
