<p>[QUOTE="RhinoEmpire, post: 1842963, member: 16472"]1. Are ungraded coins from an online company worth it? Do they follow bullion prices only or is there any collector value for ungraded?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes and no. You will probably pay more for a graded coin, but it should be easier to sell in the future should you decide to do so. Because the coin is graded, you should be able to recover the premium you paid. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. If I pay extra for graded what is the minimum grade to make it worth the extra?</p><p><br /></p><p>It sounds like you are just starting out, no? Personally, I purchased ungraded gold Indians and half eagles from reputable dealers when I started out. It’s exciting to hold a coin that is 100 years old in its raw form rather than one encased in plastic. You can find 2.50 Indian fractionals for ~$260 and $5 Indian/eagles for ~350-430 on up. When you learn more about the business, start shopping for graded double Eagles/Saint Gaudens. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Any size?
