I have been collecting coins for a while I have a basic understanding of how to grade a coin. My question however is about professionally grading coins. When coins from NGC or PCGS say 'early releases' or 'first strike' do these labels add any more collector value to the coin?

Can you say huckster?


Quote:
huck·ster (hkstr)
n.
One who uses aggressive, showy, and sometimes devious methods to promote or sell a product.


Just my opinion but No Collector Value - The TV hucksters would have you believe there is added value but then again, they also will sell you bags of unsearched wheat cents that just might have a 14-D in them.
