Pcgs Coin Holder

People that I talk to think that the favorite coin of most collectors is generally the rarest or most expensive coin in their collection. My favorite is neither.

Mine is a gold coin designated DMPL (Deep Mirror Proof-Like) on its PCGS holder. The coin is quite common with literally thousands graded higher. The reason I like it best is because the look of the coin is like nothing I've ever seen on a gold coin. Eye appeal is everything on this coin.

So what is your favorite coin and why is it your favorite?

I used to be a bartender and people would give me coins from all over the world. The one that sticks out the most was a coin celebrating the 750th year anniversary of the city of Berlin. It was very special because the people that gave it to me had been robbed of almost everything they had brought with them on their vacation to the U.S., but the robbers hadn't found this particular coin. They came into the bar I worked in and I befriended them. They gave me the coin which unfortuneately was lost in Hurricane Katrina along with all my other coins. The coin may be gone but my memory of those two people will stay with me forever.

I#39;m forever hearing folks ask, quot;how do I crack a coin out of a PCGS holder?quot;. Well, this is how. I#39;ve done this more times than ...

Seems like there is a lot of money to be made with the right approach. Anyone have luck?

It depends on just how good you are at grading. Now, one always hears of some one breaking open a slab and having it graded a grade higher. However you don't hear of the ones that are graded lower or the same, so one paid twice for the same grade and lost money if lower.Talking to dealers and reading in the weekly coin magazines as well as Coin Dealers Newsletters, there are more in the latter catagory. It pays to know how to grade. I did not luck out, but knew a couple of coins were graded wrong and they came back graded higher. You buy the coin not the holder. Hope this helps.

Someone I know owed me $350.00 and gave me a collector coin as payment. I do not collect coins so I dont know what its worth. Its a 2007 U.S. statue of liberty $50.00 platinum coin in a PCGS holder. The holder says....2007 (1/2 oz Proof) Platinum Eagles - PF70 DCAM PCGS. Does anyone know how many of this coin was graded by PCGS at this 70 grade? and how much can I sell this coin for? THANKS!

One half ounce of platinum currently trades for about $600 on the commodity market. The bullion coin you have is selling on eBay for around $1000 right now. I do not know how many were graded PR70, but I can tell you there were only 7,001 in total minted in 2007. I hope that helped.
