To slab or not to slab...

Hyperion

I have a 1994 $2 platinum maple leaf.. I believe it's a relatively rare coin, taking it out of the bullion and into the collectible category... for those more experienced than I, is it better to leave in the original mint packaging, or should I get it graded ? sure might be nice to get an MS70 (I know that's a complete crapshoot)..

So.. what say you all ?!?!?

you have my newbie-gratitude....

The adjusted mintage figure for this coin is 600 pieces. This is the only year the $2 (1/15 oz) coin was minted. The 2005 Krause value is $400.

I personally would get it slabbed if for no other reason than the protection a slab offers.

What the fungus said. Sounds slabworthy to me.

Does platinum need protection??

ajaan

a 1/15 oz coin is pretty small. Easy to lose I would think.

What ajaan said..........I would.

thanks for your opinions I was leaning toward getting it slabbed for protection and out of curiosity of what it would grade...

I would get it slabbed and then sell it so fast your head would swim, but I have no heart.

Numismatics

I would slab it if I were you.

to the boards.

Scarcity and size would warrent (sp) getting it slabbed by PCGS or NGC. Though I believe that the RCM issued it in a protective plastic cointainer and a clamshell box.

I recommend that you save the original packaging and CofC so that when the time comes a collector would pay a slight premium for the whole package.
