machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1272 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 9:18 pm I've seen that PCGS SP68s seem to go for less than the coin in OGP. For example, some of the 2010s can be had in the $170 range in PCGS 68, but it seems they are around $225 in OGP. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this is? Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 9:27 pm I'm guessing that because of the handling and strike quality, the average ATBis around 67 or 68, so at that point, thr Original Packaging becomes more valuable than a PCGS slab. Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5201 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 9:36 pm A buyer knows that a coin graded as MS68 is only a MS68. An ungraded coin has the potential to grade 69 or 70 and people like to gamble or at least convince themselves that their ungraded coin is a 70 even if it is no better than the slabbed 68.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12813 Posts	Posted 05/11/2014 12:24 pm Yep. And folks will pay more for the ungraded one...then pay to have it shipped and graded, only to (possibly) come back a 68. Buy the coin...not the wrapper. Report this Post to the Staff
