Whats the advantage of collecting certified rare or certified bullion coins vs. uncertified/raw coins?
Several benefits favor certified coins. First and most important is the assurance that your coin actually is what the grade on the holder shows it to be. Grading services guarantee authenticity. Certified coins have a premium added to the spot or melt value, and this premium or extra value will expand and grow quicker than the price of bullion. The rarest coins, which were minted before 1933, generally command the highest premiums. Finally, when you wish to sell a certified rare or certified bullion coin, you’ll discover it’s easier to get the “correct” price that will include the premium.
