Meow is partial to the PCGS holder. Unfortunately, Meow does not have any other high value coins to grade. CRH yields only so much. But since this stash was found in search of coin rolls at the bank it is like a CRH find. A very lucky one.
Well, Meow could hope for such luck in the future and have many coins to grade to make it worth it. Nothing to be in a hurry about. Lucky Meow decided to show you guys the 2-month-old score. Meow had no idea something like that to fall into a Cats lap like that. Thanks again for your input all. It is nice this forum has so many Feline friendly members.
OK, so Meow bought some Whitman half holders. Meow cased the Franklins and Walker that where not damaged. Two Franklins and two Walkers had really bad dings on the rim so they are just culls. And as Meow had some sportcard holders, Meow doubled up the protection to be ready to mail it for grading in the chance ever comes up.
I love the snap locks. Yes, they're expensive, yes they are storage density poor, but you can safely hold it in both paws and see all the details!!!
The 1923-S will still have value even if luster is dead from a scrubbing and it Details. Overall at worst Meow got well over $200 in silver for $10.
Meow likes those a lot. Meow does not get coins worthy enough to go in them so a box lasts years for Meow. Just used five of them for AU W quarters and they where first time in well over a year since Meow had to paw into the box. Meow did just get a box for halves for the maybe the one and only time In Meows life.
Its kinda funny how no one ever mentioned this to Meow before. But Meow is currently grading some of Meows vast comic collections for funzies. Meow just figured out that the comic grading company is the same company as NGC. And that Meow is already a Member of NGC too by default. So anyway Meow just looked into grading that 1923s half to see if it was real, and to see if it was actually worth something. So Meow filled out the form to submit the coin. It turns out the total for all the grading fees/shipping etc are $88. Hmmm, Does Meow really want to spend $88 on grading this one coin? You guys think its worth it? Meow has no other coins worth grading so cannot save on a larger submission. So its $88...........
Congratulations on some great finds. I know it will seem grouchy of me to say this but here goes. Awesome finds but the whole "meow" bit is somewhat annoying. Congrats again.
Yes, it is churlish of you. I'm sure you have your own quirks. Meow is Meow and we take him as he comes.
