<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phankins11, post: 2111945, member: 70703&quot;]Just to clarify...</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with buying the coin not the holder...or in this case keep the coin I like, not the holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before I posted I was leaning toward the 66, I just think its looks better. I just wanted to see if ya&#039;ll had any other advice or view points.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only reason I&#039;ll be keeping one is because these two coins were my first grading submissions *ever* So its kind of part of the journey in collecting for me. I&#039;ve held off submitting anything because I wanted to make sure I had some experience and confidence in assessing a grade before I spent money to get one graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t really collect too many graded coins. I have some but not a lot, but that doesn&#039;t mean I wont collect more. I&#039;m not a huge LMC collector either. I more or less sent these in as a litmus test on my ability to grade and because I knew if they graded at what I thought the would I&#039;d be able to sell them for way more than what I could just as a single coin. Now that they&#039;re back I only want to keep the one I really like just to have my first trophy so to speak. Plus the added benefit that I think the toning is just cool.</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent .43 for each of these. I bought a bulk set of SMS and proof strike coins and have already ebay&#039;ed a good hand full each making me a tiny bit of money with out any major effort. Either one I sell will bring a nice single coin profit if that makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>This exercise has given me some confidence, so I&#039;ll probably try to find more in the lot that might bring a nice profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate everyone weighing in. Its not really helped me make my decision, but it helps fill in the picture a bit more with regards to typical approach and what people are thinking about them. Plus I enjoy all the different view points.</p><p><br /></p><p>The RD vs. RB discussion is one that I will be digging more on...its an interesting designation that I&#039;ve just kind of taken for granted and not really studied the minutia of.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, don&#039;t stop here, if you have any other thoughts or suggestions I&#039;m open to more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
