For instance, my 2006-D SAC$1 MS67..

Says: Requires lots of searching and it might just make more sense to buy a graded example, since the odds of finding a raw example in this grade are almost unlikely.

Well, Mr. Expert, I ain't gonna sell it for $80. Did you think of that?

Not sure I like the idea of competing with Penner for what Sacs over MS67 are still on the market. I liked them because nobody else was interested in them. This is kind of my niche.

I remember when they first came out my grandmother would literally give us Sacagaweas as a gift. They were nothing special but still it was great because it came from my grandmother. I still have those, plus much more that I got over the years. Literally, the one in my purse was given to me by my older sister only because she remembered that I collect coins.

You should get into graded coins. It's actually a good investment. Coins outperform the stock market most of the time in timeframes over ten years or so. No guarantees, but it's a really cool market to get into.

I have half a dozen Churchill crowns bought by my father in 1965 the year Churchill died and the year I was born. Famous for being the first commemorative coin to feature anyone outside of the Royal family. Dad bought it as an investment, unfortunately over 9 million of them were made and you can buy one now for £4.
