<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1410595, member: 30400&quot;]I would not take the coins out of the sealed cellophane. There&#039;s no downside and who knows? Maybe graders get them that way, maybe they&#039;ve been freed by clerks but they annotate they&#039;ve come from sealed mint packages. Regardless, grading is always uncertain. I&#039;m sure there are countless incidences of mint-packaged coins coming back in genuine slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would do the math before you spend the money. Grading is not cheap. My personal rule of thumb is if the coin&#039;s not worth more than $100 it&#039;s not a smart expenditure. But everyone has their own reasons. Those $20 coins you see in graded slabs are usually from bulk submissions where a few lucky strikes make up for the losers. Smart collectors don&#039;t spend $40 to grade a $20 coin.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
