I paid $15 for the pair. I have someone splitting an economy submission with me, so half processing fee, half shipping etc. Basically I'd be into these coins $37.50 each. What do they grade? Think it's worthwhile? Thanks!
Personally, for what they are worth, I would sell them as is for nice hole fillers in an album. AU 50s sell for 70-100 so you could conceivably eat up half your profit in grading fees.
I think the top has a good shot at 50, but might only go 45. The bottom should get a 40 with some luck. Assuming the $37.50 is coin plus grading, I can see grading the first, but I cannot see how grading the second could help.
Thx guys. I think I'll submit the first one and just auction off the second one. Can't really lose with it only costing me $7.50.
Honestly, the bottom of the two has the better eye appeal to me - virtually zero distracting marks (I hate marks in ONE CENT), just honest wear on a scarce early branch mint Lincoln. That one should do nicely with images like these, which (I can see the EXIF data) are actually kind of ridiculously good for the camera you're using.
One time I found a low grade 12-s in change =) In my opinion, if you wanted to get it TGP graded ANACS would be the best way to go, because the fees are the least.
He is slabbing it solely to sell it. ANACS may be the cheapest to slab, but regardless of your and my opinion of their grading, they just do not garner the bucks PCGS will.
