<p>[QUOTE="PassthePuck, post: 4646911, member: 98916"][QUOTE="Rick B, post: 4620502, member: 113624 What is so fun about just blindly buying coins that are already graded and tossing them in a drawer?[/QUOTE] I buy them because they are graded! I ONLY buy graded coins that are MS 69 or MS 70. I don't buy proofs because they don't hold high value...IMHO! But MS69/70 will bring a higher value because they are MS. I coin collect for investment. Oh, not for me, but for my godson! Now, having said that, I too like finding coins within my pocket change. Because I use a handheld microscope, I ONLY collect coins that are flawless...zero scratches. I got lucky last year when my wife found a gallon container of pennies at work that some lady was just collecting pennies at her desk. She bought all those pennies for me at face value and 80% of all those pennies dating back to the mid 70's had zero scratches on them. They are now in 2x2's and are in my safe![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
