<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 5338, member: 578&quot;]Hi bigelk,</p><p>Maybe I should have been a little clearer about that.</p><p>What I meant to say, was that I don&#039;t buy certified, or slabbed bullion coins.</p><p>I do have some very beautiful Silver Eagles, and they are indeed uncirculated.</p><p>Actually, bullion coins are coins made from gold, silver, or platinum, and are not intended for circulation, although they do have a denomination on them. They can be handled enough, so that they would be considered &quot;circulated&quot;, though.</p><p>The main reason that I don&#039;t buy slabbed bullion coins is, that I cannot justify the price difference in a slabbed and a raw bullion coin.</p><p>Nearly all bullion coins are at least MS-67 when they are shipped from the Mint. The difference between MS-67 and MS-69 is so slight as to make no difference to me personally. An MS-69 Silver Eagle is in no way a &quot;rare&quot; coin. </p><p>I&#039;m also not in any kind of competition with other collectors to see who can afford to buy the most expensive coins.</p><p>Not that there&#039;s anything wrong with the way anyone chooses to collect, but I have collected raw coins all my life, and have learned a lot by having to do my grading myself.</p><p>Hope this helps to show where I&#039;m comming from.</p><p>Jody[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
