<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Scrap Metal, post: 374303, member: 14629&quot;]I have a decent collection of ASE Proofs.&nbsp; I want to branch out into Morgan and Peace Dollars.&nbsp; I have the Redbook, the ANA grading book, and have read The Coin Collector&#039;s Survival Manual.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My question is this:&nbsp; Do you collectors buy raw coins and grade them yourselves, or do you buy graded and slabbed coins?&nbsp; Do you buy both?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can afford common date graded coins, and can certainly pick through common date boxes on dealer tables looking for nice AU&#039;s. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My thoughts are as follows:&nbsp; If I buy AU&#039;s, they can be nice in my collection, and double as emergence bullion coins.&nbsp; If I buy graded coins, I can probably get my money back more easily if I go to sell. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What are your thoughts?&nbsp; Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
