Why would you crack out the coin if it doesn't grade PR70?
I've yet to see a modern gold Eagle proof grade out at less than PR69.
If your goal is to sell the coins, you'll still get a better price for a graded
coin.
You can always include the original mint holder in the sale.
I would crack the lower grade out becuase I like my collection to
still be in the original US Mint case. I only want to sell one of the
2 I bought. I am listing some of my coins I do not want any more on
Ebay and just noticed the BIG price range.
==================================================
You are an idiot. Oly would love to have you for a drinking buddy. He's an idiot
too.

I agree with your point of keeping the mint cases .... guess in one
persons opinion I'm an idiot also. Like I care.
There are several other forums, and you're welcome to try them. My
experience with them is that they are very clique-y and have a
greater-than-justifiable opinion of themselves.
Yes, many former rccers have migrated over to them, while many others
apparently have given up on online discussion, collecting, or both. Of
course, an unmoderated forum such as this one is likely to bring forth all
manner of aberration, but there are still enough knowledgeable numismatists
to make it worthwhile. Welcome back.
I can't advise you on what to do with your Eagles. Third party grading is a
crapshoot at best. Likewise is selling anything into this fickle and
cynical market. Figure out what makes sense to you, and then do it.
Whatever you decide, make sure that having fun is the main reason you do it.
Otherwise there's no point to this hobby at all.

Ignore the nice man calling people an idiot for having a different
opinion than his. :-) Most dealers I know prefer the original packaging
to a 69. Ebay is the only place really to sell the typical 69's. They are
the rejects from shopping networks trying for 70's, and a lot of people
don't realize that that are on ebay.
I wouldn't bother if I thought it was coming back as a 69, but if you can
look at it in a loupe and see nothing off, not even the slightest, send
it in if you want and perhaps you do have a 70.
I know you realize it, but keep in mind 70's are pricey for a reason.
Percentage wise, very few get there.

You're so full of shit, your eyes are brown.
Most dealers prefer "original packaging", eh?
That a load of BS and you know it.
MS69's sell with ease at well over bullion value on eBay.
Dealers are only too happy to buy certified coins, even if they aren't
"perfect".
Anyway, who says you have to throw away the "original packaging"?
Why don't you just shut the fuck up since you don't have a clue as to what
you're blathering on about?
Hello RF!!!

Actually you very nice and obviously well educated person, my eyes are

Have a nice day.

Is that a fact?!?! As we all know, opinions are like a-
holes...everyone has one, and they all stink.
Oh, no, not another a-hole joke!
James the Puckered
Because he was constantly coming out with a new name to get around the
killfile.
Of course, it doesn't matter now. I have reason to believe we have
heard the last of him.
Any chance of your sharing that reason with us?
James the Curious
>> >> RF is O.K.
Sure but after you read his first couple of postings you understand who he
is and you can killfile him again:-)

??? How's that?!
Too nice to be true though;-)

sure, I think he is dead now.
especially since his favorite target has posted at least twice with
nothing in reply..
if you know where to look, you can see the likely obit.
coins.
Given that his website has been updated in the last few days, care to lead
us to that "likely obit"?
Did somebody drive a stake through his heart?
Someone is updating the website you say. Isn't that interesting. What
is the URL in question?

If you're good enough to find his "likely obit" then finding one of his
websites should be easy. They've been mentioned before in rcc.
However, give us the obit URL and I'll gift you with a website URL.
Nah, he's posting in drag now.
Besides, his heart if he has one wouldn't accommodate anything bigger than a
toothpick.
No URLs are necessary. All it takes to settle this discussion is the
application of elementary skills in style analysis and the matter comes
clear. It will also empower you to figure out whose sockpuppet I am.
No one cares that Ugluk = TGB.
Hmmm... I think I will pass up your offer on that. I've thought it
over a second time. I don't see any reason for me to go poking around
in something that will be nothing but a waste of my time. Nothing of
value to see.... Nothing for me to gain in doing so.
I still think he is gone for good and I'm happy to leave things like
they are. I believe the newsgroup is a better place now.
And may God have mercy on his soul.
