Gold queens beasts worth grading?

[fiveshotdon]

I have graded the 1/4oz lion and griffin and got ms69 on both. I have been forced to sell my collection to pay for building work but these two haven’t had any interest even though they are priced at market value plus cost of grading only.

What are people’s thoughts on grading these as I was planning on getting a complete set? Should they just be left in the capsule?

Most of people who like the graded coins already have one in their collection I think ,with the Morden bullion, they all after 70 , I found that with the new pandas as well .

I agree with @Panda82 's post above, and have a couple MS69 griffins that I graded myself looking for an MS70.  I view the grading costs of these MS69s as the price I paid to get the MS70.  My initial plan was to upholder the MS69s, but I haven't done this yet just in case I turn out to be wrong about demand for MS69 vs. raw bullion.

Just a thought : if I wanted a graded one, why not buy a raw at market price plus the cost to grade it? Then I would have at least a 30% chance to get a 70 and increase its value.

A solid point, but you could say that about most of the graded coins on the forum. Any of the famous 5 can be picked up raw relatively easily but they sell at a premium over the cost of grading very quickly.
