<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinbuff, post: 550217, member: 9564&quot;]My advice, based on recent experience, is do not send for grading.</p><p>The majority of ASEs are MS69.</p><p>If you do get a few MS70s, the cost of grading the MS69s will definately surpass the premium you will get for any MS70s.</p><p>Being in a slab will not increase the value of MS69s. The price of silver is what will affect the value, and it will affect slabbed and unslabbed ASEs <i>by the same amount of money.</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I made the mistake of building a couple sets of MS69s, and when I sold them to a dealer this year, I received the same amount for the MS69s as I would have if they were raw. (The 2006Ws brought more because of their higher value due to low mintage, <i>but no more than if they were raw</i>.)</p><p>I thought of selling them on ebay, but research showed me that I <i>may be able to break near even</i>, but also may not be able to get them sold. And I&#039;d still be paying the fees - further adding to the cost. There&#039;s just too many MS69s in slabs, and the average Joe cannot make a profit with volume dealers selling for a lower price than would allow that profit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMHO, don&#039;t throw the money away for grading. Keep &#039;em raw - they&#039;re bullion - the value is wholly in their silver content, and US govt. guarantee of that content.</p><p>I keep one of each year in an album because I like the design, and am anticipating seeing what they will look like in a few years with &quot;album toning&quot;. Otherwise, I buy &#039;em for the silver.</p><p>Hope this helped. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
