<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 85319, member: 3726&quot;]Well I really have not seen in person any NGC graded coins.&nbsp; And I really did not want(others) to debate about PCGS and NGC - I see both views and understand why each states what they do.&nbsp; The only reason I decided to buy PCGS graded coins(in this case) was because I found 1 or 2 cheap ones in ms69 and pr69,&nbsp; bought them and decided I like them enough to just try to get a complete set.&nbsp; I decided I would try to do this at 50 to 80% of the value coin elite suggested.&nbsp; This strategy worked for the non-key dates and I was SOL on those.&nbsp; Probably over-paid for a couple, but hey I wanted the complete set. Now to just quit being lazy and register them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I then found I could register the sets and get a couple graded for free.&nbsp; I guess when I see what pr70&#039;s go for I thought - wow get 1 coin from the 90&#039;s proofs graded out at pr70 and sell the puppy(pay for my whole collection).&nbsp; Then reality set in when I look at the percentage to grade out like that - decided I would still get the complete sets and register them for the fun of it.&nbsp; So far I have not run into any great buys that would warrant a grading - actually 99% of my coins are us mint coins.&nbsp; And I know if I got 2 coins graded I would replace them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So sounds like 2 no votes.&nbsp; And I think maybe I will visit the local coin shop(only 1 real one in my city) and see what strikes my fancy for my next project.&nbsp; And it won&#039;t be modern proof coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
