Key or semi-key coins in nice collector grades strict VF-35 and above worth at least $300 or more.</p><p>2.&nbsp; Coins in those same grades/key or semi-key that are often counterfeited such as 09-S VDB, 55 DDO and 22-Plain die #2.</p><p>3.&nbsp; Rare die varieties that boost the price way above normal coin value, examples are Top 100 or top Cherry Pickers Guild coins such as 1935 Buffalo DDR #1, 1955-P Lincoln DDO-001 &amp; 2, 1983-P DDR-001 &amp; 2 1995-D DDO-003,</p><p>4.&nbsp; Any type coin that is just so original you can&#039;t stand it and with very little evidence of any old cleanings, again $300 and above.</p><p>5.&nbsp; Any 1952 and earlier single proof coin that has a shot at PR-65 or above and is very original looking, (IE: been taken care of).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Coins that should never be graded-advice for the pure collector.</b></p><p>1. Most all coins made since 1985.</p><p>2. Any and all modern proofs and comparatives made for collectors.</p><p>3. Any and all modern silver, gold and platinum since 1986.</p><p>4. Any modern beautiful toned coins - reason, if they are beautiful without the holder will they be more beautiful with one? </p><p>5. Any coin that I own.</p><p>&nbsp;<b>Plus all you will be so pleased I&#039;m not going to go off on TPG companies, today anyway.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Happy weekend everyone!!!</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
