<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbdii, post: 5291, member: 655&quot;]I would pay the current silver spot price for that or any other standard strike silver eagle which isn&#039;t a key date.&nbsp; I would resell it for the current trends price, slabbed or not.&nbsp; Paying a premium for a slabbed common date bullion coin is a mistake, IMO.&nbsp; They aren&#039;t circulation coins, so finding one in MS-69 is no great feat.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Even the &#039;96 only has a current market value of about $25 which makes the cost of a slab prohibitive.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; AFAIK, the standards for grading a bullion coin are based strictly on the quality of the strike and the number of blemishes.&nbsp; There would be a much stricter grading standard for coins whose starting value is based on being uncirculated.&nbsp; A much handled or cleaned eagle is worth its melt value with no coin premium to speak of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
