I bought a 1986 Silver Eagle.

It will be in tomorrow and its not slabbed. I thinking of sending it to NGC when I get it

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

 

why? your better off buying already slabbed if that's what you want

 

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?

 

i will post pictures when i get it

 

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.

 

Prove it to NCG

 

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.

 

here some pictures

 

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.
