Hello RWB, Thank you for the reply. Yes, I have zero skills at this time for pre-grading with exception of using a magnifying glass!

Hello Neophyte Numismatist, Thank you for the detailed information. What you put together makes sense. I have come across some items that seem available to buy in BU condition yet are unavailable in graded condition on third party sites, or, if they are, carry a large premium. If you can get a raw BU coin for $40 yet only see it online in graded condition for $120 or more it make me ponder why that is. Perhaps it means that that coin only comes back in ps70 or ms70 condition one out of x times, thus the price? This is what prompted my initial question. Thank you again.

Hello VKurtB, Thank you for your insight. If a coin is generally worth $40 then to have it graded with all the costs incurred would make it very hard to recoup any financial loss. That does make sense. Again thank you for your time in replying.

Hello, As a new coin collector there is a vast ocean of websites to help you build a collection. My question pertains to buying BU coins and then having them graded. In particular I'm looking at newer aged (year 2000+) silver, one ounce lunar coins. Are there any websites/vendors you have had more success with vs others? Or is this type of information kept secret or not appropriate for this forum? Thank you for any help or direction.

Hi Fenntucky, It seems like the earlier series from 1999-2010 did not show the P mint mark from Perth Mint, but the later coins/years DO show the mint mark. I still believe the easiest way for collectors is to put the country and mint origin on the label, like ASTL-Perth Mint or something like that, even if it is in a smaller font size.

Hi, First my apologies if this is a topic elsewhere.... As a brand new shiny coin collector (okay, I have like 3 coins) I am curious about the labels in the coin slabs. I'm trying to collect the Australia Lunar $1 Silver set and notice that it seems like both the Perth Mint and Royal Australia Mint make coins. While a well informed collector knows the difference I wonder why labels can't identify the country and mint origin. It would have a line item like ASTL - Perth Mint or ASTL - Royal Australia Mint, or something like that. Thank you, Chris

Hi Ali, I think I see an overall problem with the $1 Australia Lunar 1 oz silver competitive set. There are a few coin slots that are named confusingly, or, incorrectly. As a new collector it makes it very confusing. I have attached a pic of what I would consider adding/removing. Red/remove, Green add

Thank you so much Ali! I now see the additional three slots. That makes more sense. Another interesting question.....I see that the "Australia Lunar Silver Dollar Set" is mostly comprised of coins minted by/from the Perth Mint. However, it would seem that the Royal Australian Mint also mints silver dollar coins for lunar. As a new collector this can be a bit confusing in relation to the registry. Technically, these coins are also minted in Australia and thus it would make sense to add those coins to this competitive set. To date, however, it seems like only the 2017 rooster is added. Perhaps other years mintages from the Royal Australian Mint are not $1 coins? I'm not sure. With this being said has NGC considered, that moving forward when they grade coins the label on the slab would denote the place of minting to provide such distinction? Thank you again for your work and your time. I am really enjoying the atmosphere of collecting these well designed coins!

Hello, I'm a new collector (yes you are sighing now) and I'm curious about the Australia>Australia Lunar>Silver Dollars, Series One and Two, 1999-2019, Mint State competitive set. I am just wondering why wouldn't that set be modified to be all three series which would then include 2020, 2021, and 2022 coins? I'm also wondering why gold gilded, colorized, and privy coins, etc., don't have their own unique competitive sets. Instead they seem all mixed together. Thank you, Chris
