<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flintcreek6412, post: 1885322, member: 61025&quot;]I&#039;m going to have to disagree with your above GDJMSP.&nbsp; A coin is worth what someone is willig to pay for it if that price is repeatable.&nbsp; &nbsp; Really no different than stocks, land and other items.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I may not think Google is worth much as a stock because it just doesn&#039;t seem tangible to me, yet others pay big money for it.&nbsp; Some people place a very high value on my land that is wooded with a creek while others see it as worthless because you can&#039;t farm it or run stock on it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Coins are exactly the same way. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I might say there is no way a 1794 large cent is worth $10,000 because it&#039;s only got 8 cents in copper in it, yet plenty of others see great worth in it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My wife is brainwashed into thinking a Coach purse has value.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t give you $10 for it, but thousands of women will give her $200 all day if she&#039;d sell it.&nbsp; Please Dear, sell just 1 or 2 or even 4 of them.&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;ll still have plenty and I could buy more coins then....LOL.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As far as slabbed coins, they do seem the carry a slightly better premium.&nbsp; Maybe not for you as you can grade and determine what is a details coins.&nbsp; Those that can&#039;t grade well see great value in buying a problem free grade and pay for the premium which isn&#039;t much, but it exists.&nbsp; It exists more in a form of being easier to sell.&nbsp; Give me 2 identical coins at the same price, one slabbed, one not.&nbsp; I&#039;ll buy the slabbed.&nbsp; The process of me choosing one over the other gives it value, even if not in $$.&nbsp; It&#039;s like buying the same house with one painted purple and one tan.&nbsp;&nbsp; The tan will appeal to more of a market thus it&#039;s a better house to buy in the long run.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
