<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rodeoclown, post: 1523780, member: 34005&quot;]Let&#039;s say I have 1000 coins in my collection and I get them all graded. Even if I got them all graded at $30 each, that&#039;s 30k total just to get them graded, not counting how much I paid for them. I&#039;d say it would be several generations before my family made any money from them. Who knows if that $100 coin is only worth $110 in a hundred years but I spend $80 on it and spent $30 to get it graded, my family just broke even.</p><p><br /></p><p>I say the better plan is to educate your family in what you have and how to get the best money in case you die. Leaving instructions is also a good approach but grading coins, not so much in my opinion with the above scenario I pointed out. I don&#039;t think coins are good investment. If I were to invest 30k in grading coins that already have value without the slapped opinionated grade on it, well, I can just say I could turn 30k into a whole lot more money to leave my family instead of using it to grade coins in hopes it&#039;s a good return investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>To each their own though. I left a note with my collection as well for my family in case I die, it says, &quot;I enjoyed collecting these, I hope you enjoy them too.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
