I would gladly display any gold coins anyone is willing to send me.

Ok here's one, a 1943 Walker, most likely MS-64, has no toning whatsoever. I got it for $6.75 while back (ebay, really bad pick) Should I slab?

That's a really good deal, but it's listed at $60 on numismedia in that grade, so probably not worth it.

At what valued price do you start slabbing ?

Irespire

Me personally? at least $500, if not more for PCGS and NGC. The dealer return time for NGC seems to be taking two months, and I don't want to wait that long. Plus, I get charged about $55. I don't prefer them, but I could go lower for ANACS also. It's cheaper too.

For a really key date, I also might go lower. They're tough to sell without certs. Maybe $250-$300.

But for ANACS, you'll be set back at least $30-40 typically (at least I think so) if you include insured shipping and everything. Not worth it on a $150 coin.

But don't they have this slabbing service that is cheaper, because it involves havign multiple coins slabbed?

Yeah, I was going with that, I think it's still at least $20, what really hurts is the insured shipping.

sketcherpbr

um, possibly a ridiculous question to you guys, but I'm new, so how much does it cost to get a coin slabbed?

the price doesnt vary by grade ( unless you are forced to change the tier because of value of the coin)

I think usually the cheapest type is $20, but insured shipping is often another $20. So at least $40 most of the time.

Among the other comments consider this: purchase price of a coin +$14 = Value of the coin? Then slab it. But if purchase price of a coin + $14 > than the value of the coin then do not slab it.

It's just a math thing.

How can coins be safely removed from slabs?

I contacted both PCGS and NGC and they said that the coin cannot be removed
without damage. They then added that they have equipment to do it, but they
will not remove the coin and return it, they will only re-slab.

My sight may not be what it was, but I cannot see dark copper coins in slabs,
even to verify the variety. I have just a piece of dark metal in plastic (even
if the label says it is an EF Vermont landscape cent), and so, for me, a
slabbed darkly toned coin is a ruined coin. Slabbing has its place, but I want to be able to see my dark non-reflective coins.
A major dealer said he could not tell me due to liability concerns, and referred me to this forum.
Can you assist in liberating my collection?
