2010 PCGS FIRST STRIKE CHINA 10YN GEM BU .999 SILVER 1 SKU #188215 This is a very nice 2010 First Strike China 10YN coin in very collectable condition. It has been professionally graded by PCGS as gem BU with a certification number 16756017. Coin would make a nice aquistition to any collection. Commonly called "slabs", they are housed in a protective plastic holder. There are many companies – over a dozen are less than 2 years old – which will put your coin in a slab after Certifying that it is Authentic, and assigning a Grade to the coin. The first reason for buying and collecting Certified and Graded Coins applies to all of these companies. However, the most important reasons apply only to the Top Four companies: PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG. No 1. To Protect Your Coin from Damage. Visible Damage, which includes anything from finger prints/oils to being stepped on. More importantly, Environmental Damage, including such things as exposure to the air, or the wrong kind of air, chemicals in the air, and touching other objects (e.g.: certain plastics, liquids, food) and other coins, which will change the appearance and even structure of the coin. Damage causes loss of Value, which means Your Investment. A slab is an air tight container, and its purpose is Protection. No 2. To Establish Authenticity. You want and need to know that your coin is not only the Real thing, but that it has not been altered (changing a mint mark - fraud) or changed, for example by cleaning, polishing, changing the appearance or surface of the coin, in any way that would render your coin unfit to collect. If it is Unfit to Collect, there won't be many Buyers or Sellers. Many coins graded by lesser companies end up getting Rejected by one of the Top Four for these reasons. No 3. To Establish Identity. Is that 1909 Lincoln penny a VDB? Did you overlook the "S" mint mark. Is it a Type 1 or Type 2? These little identifying marks can mean the difference between a $20 coin and one worth $35,000. We all make mistakes and overlook or miss, mint marks, details, and certain other identifying factors which make up "Varities" of each coin. It is the professional's duty to look for, and establish these things to determine a coin's true Identity. No 4. To Establish the Coin's Grade. A coin's Grade is what determines its Value. You want Good Value when you Buy the coin. You want to get what you pay for (or more) and not get cheated. When you get ready to Sell or Upgrade, you want to get the most for your coin. You have to Know what your coin is Worth! The Grade is always an Issue when Buying and Selling a Collectible Coin. Having the coin Professionally Certified and Graded virtually eliminates this Issue, and the Arguments. This is Your Neutral Third Party. No 5. Trust and Credibility. The Top Four companies are Consistent, Reliable and Trustworthy. They have Established and Respected Reputations. Their Standards are the Highest and the Best. You are taking a Risk when buying a certified and graded coin from any other company. When you Sell a Certified and Graded Coin, it will speak for you. The reputation of the Grading Company will firmly establish the Grade of the Coin. This translates into the Value or Worth of the Coin. Check out our eBay Store for more great deals!!
