<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lackluster, post: 826263, member: 21103&quot;]The only way I would buy these modern high grade slabs is if I could sell them&nbsp; (flip) at a profit.&nbsp; I had an interesting discussion w/ a dealer a show a few months back.&nbsp; I had bought many coins from this dealer in the late 70&#039;s through the late 80&#039;s.&nbsp; I told him that I was kinda getting interested again and shopping around for a few things.</p><p>I brought up the modern slab ms and proof 69 and 70&#039;s and how I thought they may be comparable to the old 73 brown ikes (bidding at $130) on the greysheet at the time. Or the great comm hype that blew up in a bad way in the 80&#039;s.&nbsp; </p><p>He agreed (to my surprise) even though he had plenty of this type of coins on his table.&nbsp; He said you carry what the public wants and people want this stuff because of the hype, mainly from tv.&nbsp; He said it was a good market, but he would not hold on to any for himself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He asked what types of things I had aquired and what I was collecting now.&nbsp; Thought I was pretty smart about buy some nicer old stuff, but nothing w/an astronomical price.&nbsp; Stcik with the tried and true he advised and you probably be happy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>people can buy their proof 70 pennies or whatever, I&#039;ll just get the proof set.&nbsp; 10 years from now I have a feeling they may wish they had done the same.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lack[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
