Is it worth getting the 20th Anniversary AGE set graded

Coins101 · October 11, 2006 2:28AM

What do you think? Is it really worth getting the set graded if you plan on flipping it? I know everyone is trying for 70's and even "First Strike" but what happen if you get 69's rather than 70's? Is it better to leave them raw so a speculator may take the chance of getting 70's, maybe paying more than someone just buying the known 69's

If you are planning on flipping it in the near future I would say no.

I am expecting my 2 three coins sets this week by registered US mail . I decided not to grade them. I want to be able to prove what's inside. It's too expensive for me to take a chance. Later I might grade the reverse proof coins.

What about if you plan on holding them for a year or two (or more)? I guess I am on the fence at this point. I believe I will be holding the set for at least two years unless there is a huge price spike. My set is sitting in a box ready to be mail for grading. But now i am having second thoughts. Should I get it graded or leave it raw?

" Why do we park in driveways and drive on parkways? "

Simple, we park on driveways because the garage is being used for storage, and we drive on parkways because they lead us to the parks.

If you want more $$$ or plan to hold it for any length of time, get it graded and pay to have all the original material saved and sent back to you.
You spend maybe $100-$120 or so to do this but the potential increase in "value" is much higher (get a PF70 on the reverse proof, or even the others, and it more than pays for the set).
If you keep the items (ie...pay the $2 and have them sent back with the coins) and you don't like the grade or prices soften, etc, you can crack them out, put them back in the set for display/whatever, and, considering the cost was $2614.95 for 1 of the sets (incl shipping), the grading fee is not even 5% of the overall cost.

Worth it.

how about sending just one set in for that first strike designation ? If you get a 70 on that reverse proof, it will pay for your other two sets

better still, you could sell two sets unopened and that would pay for one.

You fellas that got them are in the driver's seat, really !

I have two sets in one box as delivered from the mint. So, now I
have to get both sets graded in order to maximize potential for
coins? Why not open the box and send in the Reverse Proof only?
Forget the FS I have my receipt with the invoice number. It's not FS its is FR "first received". I understand the mint WILL NOT issue
any individual Reverse Proofs. Any thoughts? Regards, Michael
