I think this coin is perhaps a tilted hub and I would like to send this coin in to be graded. But before I do what price would would be the going rate?
I can't tell from your photos whether it is or not, but more importantly, what makes you think this coin would be worth submitting for grading? Chris
$49 membership fee for PCGS, $39 for NGC, plus the grading fee, shipping both ways, insurance, oh and I think both charge extra for error, variety designations and also attributions.
Don't forget the handling fee that is being added. I think it's $8 at NGC, but I don't know what it is at PCGS. It seems that "micro" and many of the others who search rolls automatically think a circulated coin will be worth submitting for grading just because it has some type of error. No offense intended toward any of them, but usually the first thing they want to know is what is it worth, and they could usually care less about how these errors occur in the minting process. Chris
I thought I was under the forum 'What's it worth' so what's the problem? I am aware of the minting process and have studied this how the type error occured and like to know this aspect too. So sorry to offend but one never knows where the another one stands in the quest of knowledge.
I think your best destination if you decide to slab it is ANACs for that type of variety , assuming it is. Jim
A planchent enters the hub at an angle and is stuck, the planchet then falls into place and is struck again. this is a very short answer so I am sending a site to go into detail. http://doubleddie.com/203990.html
If this is your explanation, then it is not a tilted hub die. A tilted hub die is caused when there is a misalignment between the hub and the die it is producing. A planchet never ever comes into contact with the hub, only a working die. This is why I made the comment I did. It wasn't intended to demean you, but to encourage you and many others to learn.
