<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 3592158, member: 10103&quot;]I ordered OP&#039;s set from the mint this afternoon........my advice is to keep it in the original packaging.&nbsp; The majority of these coins grade in the neighborhood of &#039;69, with a precious few capturing the lolly-pop of &#039;70.&nbsp; Like John mentioned above, the mint packaging is far more interesting than the stale, sterile packaging of an NGC or PCGS slab.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now [USER=30326]@asuphiphi[/USER] , my advice to you would be that if you really want it &#039;slabbed&#039; at a particular grade, then buy it that way in the aftermarket.&nbsp; The prices for these (initially) in &#039;69 or &#039;70 are going to be huge and absurd but if you can wait a few months I assure you the prices will be more reasonable.&nbsp; I, myself, don&#039;t buy moderns in a slab.&nbsp; I feel that the practice is wasteful and absurd.&nbsp; Buying otherwise common coins to split hairs on a grading frenzy that bumps the price up a few notches.......dumb.&nbsp; The mint packaging is quite enough for me.&nbsp; But I do understand and respect the folks who do want collect these coins in slabbed condition.&nbsp; Just not for me and it&#039;s one mans opinion........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
