    Unless it's got 70 potential, amazing toning or some error, don't send it.

    I wanted to send in my 1986 ASE but the dealer at my shop said it'd likely come back questionable color. It was from a the top coin of a roll from a monster box.

    Do you think it'd get a clean number?

    Is it a proof 86-S or just an 86? I probably wouldn't send either for grading.

    Yes, questionable color. It won't grade.

    I think it would grade. the AT coins I've seen don't have the diagonal "look' to the toning like that one does. worth a shot for a good payoff.

    I agree with that. if you want a 69 or 70 just get one already slabbed.

    May I ask, how many silver eagles have you seen with this color?

    But why? It's been in the government tube inside a monster box since 1986, I don't understand why it'd come back AT

    I was the first person to lay eyes in that coin since it was put into that tube 28 years ago.

    BigTee, that's a great looking ASE! I'll give you $4.69 over melt for it!;)

    NGC has become very skeptical with toned moderns. I agree with Larry and Treashunt. I'd put it in an airtite and view it every chance I could, or my offer above still stands..lol.

    The bigger question is why you'd want to grade a bullion silver eagle. It doesn't appear to be of exceptional grade and you'll invest more in grading it than it'll be worth.

    I think it'd have a better chance of grading from PCGS, I seen lots of AT holders from NGC, but PCGS has lots of toned silver eagles out there.

    $4.69 over spot huh? :) sounds too good to pass up on that deal! :)

    Because it's still a coin, I'm a coin collector and a coin that I own and I wouldn't mind having it in a protected slab. I don't know how it wouldn't be that of an exceptional grade, as it's straight from the mint tube....

    Send it to NGC what have you got to lose? I think it will grade.

    Absolutely anything has a grade, but the question is will they give it a numerical grade, and not AT.

    As it is only a bullion coin and doesn't appear to be a MS70, I wouldn't send it in for grading. It is worth less than $30.
