iv有許多硬幣評級，但最終我覺得原始硬幣的狀態有所不同。我認為分級硬幣有很多炒作。最好使它們保持原始狀態並裝箱。 

Just many original set I have see that coin all got red spot

Iv had many coins graded but ultimately I feel raw coins have a different presence about them. I think there is to much hype around graded coins. Best to keep them raw and boxed. 

That was my viewpoint when I started collecting coins, but I can see both arguments. I think I will get any gold coins (that I go on to sell) graded first. That removes any potential dispute between buyer and seller as to the condition of the coin, because it’s already been graded by a professional company.  

I know you buy and sell a lot of coins, including graded ones, so I guess that your business is purely business and nothing to do with your personal opinion. Would it be fair to say that your graded coins sell for more money than raw ones, or is it solely down to what coin you’re selling (graded or raw) and the price being right of course?

Good condition ones must be hard to find then? That’s why they sell for a lot of money I suppose, when they come up for sale.

I consider that a good price. If I'd have seen I doubt I'd have been able to resist😁

Hi

Just a comment. The 5 coin sets did not really start until the quarter sovereign was produced in 2009. Not sure about the "70" grading as the coins in the set are proof and in my case not touched by anyone except the person who put them in the set at the Royal Mint. As far as 2017 is concerned, the 5 coin set sold out in 2 hours and will probably cost more than the 1989 set. Another low mintage

Hope that helps

Regards
