Small differences make big differences in coin collecting
Small differences make big differences in coin collecting! It’s worth knowing that a coin certified in Perfect MS70 condition is always more valuable and collectible than a coin graded in MS69 condition regardless of the size of the certified population. There may be 1,000 coins certified in MS70 and only 100 coins graded in MS69 but the MS70 is the better and more valuable coin. (always).
A coin with an Advance Release designation is always superior to and more valuable than a coin designated as First Day of Issue or First Strike, regardless of the size of the certified population. (Coin Grading companies record every coin they grade and publish this information for collectors and dealers)
A genuine hand signature adds value and exclusivity to a coin but some signatures have a greater value than others, regardless of the size of the certified population.
The most universally accepted and trusted coin grading companies are PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. Who graded your coins will directly affect the value of your collection!
When comparing prices and values make like-for-like comparisons, a PCGS-certified coin versus another PCGS-certified coin. A First Day of Issue coin versus another First Day of Issue coin. A signature coin signed by the same person.
