found a 1819 quarter in my shoe

However, you'll spend more half that in fees to slab it, submission fee, round trip shipping, insurance, if you don't have one membership fees.

Numismedia lists the value at $98, and raw in the same condition as yours on eBay for $99.

Not slabbable (is that even a word) but it is a tough date. Bust quarters all around are just tough/low mintage.

 

Yes, all are tough. Why slab it? Its a nice, honest coin that did its job. Its not one that fakes are an issue with, or a one point grade difference will make a large difference in price. Keep it simple.

Btw, people laughing about finding it in his shoe? Why? Heck, I have found a Sassanid coin in a book, a hepthalite coin in a pair of pants, and a Zimbabwe 100 billion dollar note in a jacket just last week.

Are you saying you guys don't do the same? I thought it was normal for collectors.....

 

I found a 22-D cent in a pair of jeans. Good thing I caught it before it went into the wash.

 

The coin is worth essentially the same whether slabbed or unslabbed. Regardless, I would strongly suggest you forget ANACS as an option since the market has apparently forgotten about them already.

 

This.

It isn't like this is a really difficult coin to grade, or that it's likely to be fake. If you can find a collector who is willing to pay $90 for it raw, I can't imagine he'd be willing to pay $90 + all the costs associated with having it graded just to have it in a slab.

If it was mine, I'd put it in an AirTite and enjoy it for the rest of my years, and then my kids would inherit it.
