[QUOTE="SilverWilliesCoinsdotcom, post: 2855271, member: 86795"]Ha. Silver Willie doesn't gamble. I'm really not mostly concerned about MAKING money here, actually. What I AM concerned about is just buying the holder and the grade over the coin itself. Kinda like whether you prefer seeing animals in the wild, in a natural habitat, or in a zoo, all caged up. As an example, I just completed an MS65 War Nickel Collection, and in doing so, I got rid of the PCGS dates/mint marks because the holders clashed aesthetically.
