<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coolhandred24, post: 4601502, member: 112919&quot;]Slabbed grading has caused real anomalies in the coin market that truly baffles my mind at times.&nbsp;&nbsp; For instance I have been filling my Washington Quarter set with slabbed MS 65 coins that catch my eye for what I consider &quot;reasonable&quot; prices and noticed I can obtain a 1961-D in MS-65 for around $25-$35.&nbsp; The MS-65 slabbed coins available all look good and I would be very happy to display them to my friends and fellow collectors.&nbsp; However I noticed a MS-67+ is valued at around $25,000!!!&nbsp; Yeah, I know they are supposedly profoundly rare, but really? $25,000 for a 1961-D Quarter?????</p><p><br /></p><p>Just consider you can actually build a nice set of truly &quot;rare&quot; coins for approx. $25,000. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can get all of the following for that money:</p><p>1877 Indian MS 60&nbsp; $4500</p><p>1909 s VDB Lincoln MS 63&nbsp; $1800</p><p>1937-D 3 leg Buffalo Nickel MS 63&nbsp; $4000</p><p>1916 D Dime XF 40 $5500</p><p>1901 s Barber Quarter G 4&nbsp; $3750</p><p>1916 Standing Liberty Quarter F 12 $6000 </p><p><br /></p><p>These are all &quot;Keys&quot; in their series.&nbsp; And are well known, popular and I am pretty confident very liquid if you need your cash back quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I am asking from a coin collectors point of view what would you rather have:&nbsp; a 1961-D Washington Quarter in MS 67+&nbsp; or the above collection of 6 classic American rare coins?&nbsp; Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
