To grade or not to grade?

    Hello all,

    So my collecting habits have changed towards Morgan Silver Dollars and now instead of collecting them raw in a Dansco book, the peace of mind in knowing the exact grade and authenticity of a NGC or PCGS graded Morgan appeals to me.
    So now my question is with what I have raw, would I be smarter to sell raw and buy graded or get graded what I have raw and I'd like you guys' help and advise in what to do.
    This is the first one I'll post, I'll post others sometime soon of what else I have raw.
    Thanks!

    Sell it and buy coins already graded. Unless it’s really high grade the cost of grading will sink you.

    Don't submit the coin shown. Not worth it.

    I take it that's your avatar coin? It's pretty. Don't see anything wrong with submitting that one, if you wanted to. Otherwise I pretty much agree with everyone else that you'd be better off selling the lesser raw stuff and using the money to purchase stuff that's already slabbed, rather than sinking too much into grading fees.

    Ok, I'd be looking now to join someone in a submission to NGC or PCGS for the '84
