To grade or not to grade, that is the question.

<p>[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 1318519, member: 29012"]I steer clear of graded coins, proofs, rare coins, etc. unless I can get them for close to spot. It's not that I think they're a bad buy in the short to medium term, as the premiums could go either way. I do think they are a bad buy for the long term however, as on a long enough timeline I think everything will eventually go for melt as the metals become rare and are needed for consumption. If you aren't a youngster that may not even be worth considering, but you never know. Aside from all that, I just prefer to have more metal. I would only go for graded coins to flip them in the near future, not to hold indefinitely as an investment. Since I'm doing the accumulation method, and don't plan on selling much if any at all, graded coins don't fit my agenda, but I have a good friend who does graded pandas and dragons all day long and turns a quick profit now and again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
