<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 8209444, member: 105098&quot;]that&#039;s the thing, when it&#039;s graded it&#039;s clear exactly what it is, when it&#039;s in the original packaging, it&#039;s a gamble on what it is until it gets graded. Everyone thinks their own coins are beautiful and will grade highly.&nbsp; </p><p>A prospective buyer will generally think &quot;I want a good deal, I&#039;m not paying for PR66, when it might not make PR66 in a slab.&quot; and that&#039;s even if it looks like a PR68.</p><p><br /></p><p>Opinions are subjective. when we want to sell it, it&#039;s the best coin, when we want to buy it&#039;s ok. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes the packaging can hurt a coin in the long run if left in there. I&#039;d say if you were to submit it, no, the packaging really wouldn&#039;t matter much, they might take the postmark on the sacagawea dollar and allow you to get a first release label (at additional cost) if it doesn&#039;t show signs of tampering (the postmark is the day of the coin release in 2000)</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;But if you don&#039;t trust yourself to mishandle a loose coin, you certainly can send it in, in the packaging ad they can take it out and return the packaging for a small fee with the coins. </p><p>The Third Party Grading company is supposed to be an objective opinion by an outsider, neither a buyer or a seller, on what the coin grades at, it takes the &quot;I think it&#039;s this&quot; and &quot;I think it&#039;s that&quot; mostly out of the discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess some people are into the packaging, Personally I&#039;m a coin collector. I can take or leave all the envelopes, lenses and boxes and inserts that come with the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
