[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2371578, member: 73165"]Whether a coin tones from RD to RB to BN in a holder depends on the holder and the external environment. You can take measures that should protect the coin, but there's no guarantee it won't turn. And, if it does, the PCGS guarantee doesn't cover you. I would not purchase one very expensive coin as an investment, unless I already had significant investments in other asset classes. And, if I were to purchase an "investment coin," I wouldn't choose an S-VDB because the coin just isn't that rare. The collector in me says that if I had $4-7000 to spend on a coin, I'd rather have a nice pattern coin or two. Another possibility would be a nice VF/low XF 1893-S Morgan; it's a much rarer coin in a similarly popular series. Basically, if I wouldn't choose a coin you can find multiples of at every local coin show; I'd choose something significantly rarer.[/QUOTE]
