Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 974255, member: 26302"] I would view it the other way. I would say either non slabbed or 69's would be a better way to hold the value. I think the last grade is way too steep in the marketplace now. I think, especially now, we are seeing some commemorative exhaustion, and I think modern commemoratives could be some decent long term buys. If the price differential was something like $50 for a 69 and $150 for a 70, I would feel MUCH more comfortable buying 3 69's. Forty years from now there will be collectors wanting to assemble collections of these coins. I will guarantee that. Whether they will pay 3 times more for a condition difference they most likely cannot see I do not know, but I know there will be collectors. The registry set thing will fade. Its another numismatic fad in my opinion, one created by TPG to induce mass submissions of common coins. It makes them a dollar, but I doubt it will do anything for collectors.[/QUOTE]
