Let's see. You submit a coin without even knowing if the value will cover the grading & attribution fees. What is wrong with this picture? Chris
I didn't care about the cost of grading I just liked the coin and I wanted to experience the first time getting a coin graded I think it was really about the excitement of seeing the grade when it came into the mail but still I did not know how much that was like my 1901 proof 55 it does not show the value on PCGS
Well, the thrill becomes even more heightened if the coins come back closer to what you think they will grade. Suppose you had to sell your coins for some unforeseen emergency. You'd never recover anywhere near what you spent for grading and attribution. For example, a grease-filled die is so common, that you could fill a 5-gallon bucket with them in no time. Most collectors wouldn't pay $1.00 for one of them. PCGS even notes that your RPD is a Minor Variety. How much do you think you'd get for that? Chris
Honestly I never looked into selling the Indian sense because I want to collect them I want to keep them however the 1959_d I had no idea because I was new to ever coins and it's one of the reasons why I'm on this forum asking questions from experienced dealers sellers so on so forth don't want to make the same mistake again
Grading is not gambling. Grading is something you invest money in when you Have a key date or rare coin Have a very good idea of the grade it should get Know that the value greatly exceeds the cost of the coin plus grading fees. Like 5x minimum. All the money you spent in worthless grading could have been spent on books to educate yourself and some nice coins.
Genuinely trying to be helpful here, but getting coins graded is about the last thing someone new to coins should be thinking about.
