<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2042182, member: 19065&quot;]Please explain how a free offer is a waste of money? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Shipping costs are nominal compared to the protection and verification of the (this) piece once completed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Certifying a panda <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie70" alt=":panda:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> is not a bad idea for taking advantage of the free offer. Doing so also is going to make it a bit easier to sell to some buyers what with the problem of fake coins and holders. There is a huge market out there for Pandas and making it easier for them to buy from an individual can&#039;t be the worst course of action.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Why certify modern bullion?&quot; some ask. Because one day it won&#039;t be modern, they won&#039;t mint these designs perpetually and bullion collecting is getting stronger and stronger despite &quot;old skool&quot; notions that it&#039;s a waste of money. The bull market brought a lot of people into metals and bullion dealers have crafted a bullion collector base of paying customers who support the concept.</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone slabbed Morgan dollars before neglecting them all those years they were left stored in Mint bags, there may be a lot higher population of higher grade examples and maybe even less toned ones. The Mint slabbed GSA dollars and collectors and dealers jumped all over them, but they weren&#039;t minted in limited series and many meet the melting pot because they were never considered anything but bullion which many of you now own as collectibles, trade for high dollar amounts and discuss at length in numismatic terms.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once silver eagles stop being produced, I expect growth in the collector market as people change their perspective on those as bullion/uncirculated and start to respect them numismatically.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
