[QUOTE="stevereecy, post: 4830866, member: 19884"]I have a quick question for the group. Let's suppose I was looking at buying a BU coin from the country of Petoria. And suppose that the typical raw coin advertised as "BU" was selling for $50 on Ebay. I might consider buying that coin and say "yeah, sure it's BU, buddy, I don't trust you". If I then locate an NGC specimen slabbed MS62 or MS63, what should I expect to pay for that coin now that it's in a slab? (I understand some of the markup will be associated with the cost of slabbing it and a "peace of mind" premium). Next, suppose that coin is $100 raw in BU. Is the premium the same? I'm looking for ballpark estimates of the premium. Your best guess. I don't expect it to be perfect, but I'm just trying to gauge the value of buying an NGC slabbed coin, which would have a much lower chance of being a "slider". Thanks for any opinions.
