I took a 2006 20th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set into my local coin shops to ask about grading. I'd like to hear others opinions on two things.
1) Is is it more preferred to slab and grade coins of considerable value or to keep them in the original packaging?
2) Between Original government packaging vs slabbing which affords the best preservation of the coin over time?

Over time, coins in government packaging will generally tone faster. And when it comes to the set you are talking about, if you slab it, keep the packaging and COA. Coins that are slabbed sell a lot easier, because it is certified authentic and the specific grade. We are in the age of Chinese counterfeits, and that has made many collectors very cautious when it comes to the coins of high value. I hope I kinda answered your question and didn't confuse(  ) ya too much. Good Luck! |

Your 2006 20th Anniversary Silver Eagle Set is best left in it's OGP. You would need 70 grades to add to it's value and getting all 70s would be tough to do, but possible. Modern mint capsules are fine for long term storage.

 with BH1964 slabbing will most likely only add to your cost |

just keep the coin set in its packing itself. Later after a few years when the value increases, you can slab them.
warm wishes.

Those coins you are referring to are high value coins. They are not really effected by the price of silver. I feel that you will increase the value by slabbing them if they will grade out 69 or 70. In another post I have pictures of this set that was in ogp as I received from the mint and they have toning and spots. Not real familiar with this happening to other issues we have bought from the mint. Only my opinion.

I'd have to consider grading the reverse proof. If you get lucky and hit 70, it's about a $400-500 coin! Even at 69 it's over $200. I'd roll the dice because it's only $25 flat for me to get a grade using my dealer. However, if you not planning on selling, then just leave it in the OGP.

I think the original packing is very collectable also as the graded one

This is a very collectable set. Worth a lot more with a grade of 70. As Thad said if you have a dealer close by ask his oponion and see if the cost would be $25 each it would be worth a shot. Mine will have to be kept as they are in ogp.  |
