<p>[QUOTE=&quot;trogdor, post: 754710, member: 21943&quot;]First off let me advise that for the most part, I collect older circulated coins. To me, AU-58 is the most ideal grade. I actually prefer the look of an AU coin than a MS coin. That said, I have a question about the modern coins, these ultra-high grades and their perceived (or legitimate) value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do the collectors out there collect these coins because of rarity/investment purposes, or is it more of an aesthetic thing? I understand the competition surrounding registry sets too, but again, are these collectors collecting for bragging rights or value/long-term investment?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to get a set of the new 2009 lincolns, and I haven&#039;t decided whether I want MS or PF. I&#039;m probably fine with PF69 or MS65 coins, possibly even MS66. I definitely want certified coins. But if there is actually real long-term value in higher grade coins I&#039;m open to shooting higher. I&#039;m especially wary of the PF70 coins...it just seems that there are so many, are they truly any more desirable than PF69?</p><p><br /></p><p>To be clear, I&#039;m only talking about PCGS/NGC certified coins, I&#039;m nowhere near experienced enough to be able to grade MS coins accurately myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your help and guidance <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
