<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 8203154, member: 92655&quot;]The question of &quot;to grade or not to grade&quot;.... There are several approaches to this. When you are dealing with older historic coins, the reasoning becomes entirely different than when you are dealing with modern coins. Since yours is a modern coin that is what I will address..... In general with moderns only the absolute finest, first strike, and absolutely perfect coins should be considered. See, there are folks out there that compete with registry sets and they aren&#039;t interested in the MS65 coins. And here&#039;s the deal.... You must have one very discerning eye to be able to tell if a modern coin may fall into that MS67-68 category. I been looking at coins more than fifty years and even I won&#039;t do it. Way, way too much of a crapshoot. I will often pick up graded moderns at coin shows to bring back for the grandkids at about $5.00 a piece.... It costs somebody $30.00-$50.00 to have that coin slabbed![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
