All those first posts asking "should I get this graded"...

...still aren't nearly as sad as the ones who don't ask before jumping headlong into a grading promotion:

ANACS CERTIFIED COIN LOT -- starting bid $20, BIN $100, $3.50 shipping

Let's see. We have:

1970-D 1C AU50 DETAILS DAMAGED - CORRODED
1965 1C CANADA SM BD BLUNT 5 AU58
1960 5C EF40
1980-P 5C AU55 DETAILS CORRODED
1970-S 1C LARGE DATE AU50
1939 5C VF20 DETAILS SCRATCHED
1999-P 5C AU58
1962-D 1C EF40 DETAILS CORRODED
1970-S 1C LARGE DATE AU50
1965 1C CANADA LG BD BLUNT 5 AU58
1970-S 1C LARGE DATE AU50

I don't know much about Canadian cents, but I'm pretty confident assigning a value to the remaining four nickels and five US cents: $0.25. Of course, realizing that value would require that I crack them out of the slabs, and I'd need a good bit more than 25 cents to take on that risk of lacerations and eye injuries...

Wow...just Wow.

I thinks someone actually got their pocket change graded!!

 

I see the seller has 0 feedback on eBay as well. Do you think some unknowing person will foolishly buy these just based on being slabbed?

 

Even if someone buys the lot, it'll be fairly cheap (a few dollars per holder)...I have seen slabs like this with higher asking prices at coin shows.

 

And people doubted that RareTim submitted his coins!

 

Yeah this seems like it's going to take awhile for me to get this

 

Slaber!

 

There is a lot of supposed errors at one of my local pawn shops.
The price is 643$. For three flips of mercs and worthless nickels. maybe a few cents. There isn't an error in the bunch.

I say yes, because if they are labelled as such, someone will buy them.

With the out of ordinary Civil War merchant cards, three of them. It is worth about 90$ The shop paid 320 or so.

 

To err is human , especially if it is a 1970-small date which is really a large date....

 

Yeah, I am just not a fan of " believe what you read on the label"
As my Grandpa would say it" That's for the Birds".

 

I found a penny in the parking lot.
you know .. a penny from heaven.

Should I get it certified divine ?
how much should I ask for it ?

 

BIN's down to $50 now.

 

That does actually happen with them a decent amount with how their specials work. If you're a coin or two short and literally have nothing else its cheaper to throw anything from your pocket into the submission than not use the special

 

I wouldn't mind having the nickels for grading examples, but I would only give a nickel a piece for them.

 

HSN sells tons of silver eagles that come with a free 4 coin ANACS grading certificate. Tens of thousands of certificates or more each year. Someone bought some silver eagles then sent some cool change for grading.

 

Here's a good example: A Franklin Half FS-401 in ms66fbl is priced at $1400 at pcgs price guide. The Fs-402, same grade, is priced at $300. I'm pretty darn certain (I could be wrong, but I've looked at this coin multiple times and have always come to the same conclusion) this coin is a fs-402 mis-attributed as fs-401. And here is the auction result from heritage when it sold in 2016 for $900.

 

They both have the same die scratch in front of the nose, I believe you are correct.

 

@Lisa Brown Cuccio , welcome to CT. Is that your listing on eBay?

 

I don't think you meant more valuable. I think you meant more costly.
