1909 s vdb

No. That would be $180 total on 4 coins if using the free certs. After that you would also pay the grading fee.

Don't do anacs... wether you are keeping or selling the extra $25 at PCGS or NGC will be worth it... NGC if you join the ANA you can submit directly.

 

My figures were boiled down to the net cost per coin if joining. That covered everything on that first submission.
Future submissions are a whole new deal with different pricing.

 

ok. im going to join PCGS for $129 and send in 4 coins. sucks that it doesn't include errors but at least i can get some nicer grade coins slabbed. thanks for the info

edit: will also suck if i spend $129 to find out my coin is counterfeit :/

 

Sure, thanks for asking.

the stash i need to go through:


Five 22-D. these are the best:


VF? Full wheat heads, zero wear.


Several rolls of uncirculated memorials, one of which is 1960 small date. dunno value..

 

(last one sorry for all the pics)

couple nice IHC. too bad the '70 looks like that i needed a nice one. :/


over a roll's worth of 1909. couple of nice VDB:


Finally, a 1939 Jeff that i hoped would be DDR but instead probably MD. On 'Monticello' too:


Who knows what else, still looking. appreciate any input on value or really any info. thanks!

 

The problem with PCGS and NGC is they don't recognize or certify many of the Wexler or Crawford listed varieties or errors. Foor your 1909 they are fine, but joining them when you are an error searcher is a waste. Since ANACS has a higher level of expertise with varieties, I stuck with them.

 

Please tell me you are checking for die varieties and errors.
Great acquisition !

 

the only varieties/error i search for are here: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/priceguide.html

 

coppercoins has a much more extensive list of varieties and the LRC doesn't show coins other than cents, so perhaps you should check the Fivaz-Stanton lists ?

 

you lucky guy

congrats on finding a real genuine 09 vdb s. some people on ebay can be trusted. dont ever go with a person who says"i found this in my grandma's house" or her collection. i looked at your coin and noticed the mintmark, right off the bat i knew it was genuine. its awfully hard to fine coins like this anymore, heck it was hard for them to find them in 1909 once the mint re done it. i have a 1914 d and found it at my coin shop and the owner didnt even notice that it was the d, he just counted out my cents told me the price and i left on my merry way.he told me that he bought the collection at an auction, and that there was no need to search, and when i went back a week later i told him that i found it. he was shocked. now he searches through lots that he buys. congrats on that awsome coin.

 

---UPDATE---

So after a month of waiting, it finally came back I'm pleased to say the least.

 

Congrats. I need a find like that.

 

I enjoy searching for silver, but I'm quite sure I've never come across a coin worth 100,000x face value.

Congratulations!

 

It looks real to me.

 

Sweet! Congrats!!!

 

wow... they are still coming up! Wish I had revisited this thread - apparently something about the coin threw me off originally.

That is awesome! Congrats! You sending those coins in for grading was a good move.

BTW that AU-58 coin could be a lot more valuable to those that are Building the Everyman Registries. hang on to it unless someone offers crazy money - those guys are competitive and it only takes 2 of them competing for it.

 

:yes: That's a big YES!!!!!

 

Really cool. Nice coin.

 

For any others viewing this thread - especially those who are semi-collectors and make a lucky find - don't do what i did.
If i could go back, i would have just driven the 30+ miles to the nearest dealer, got their expert opinion, sent it to a TPG
for probably $75 and been done with it.

I joined PCGS for $129. It cost $32 to send in 4 coins. They ONLY accept Registered USPS mail which was $20. They also charge the same
amount for return shipping which was another $32.95
Going my route you will spend at least $200 to have your coin graded. And even then it could come back as
counterfeit, cleaned, altered etc which wont even get your coin slabbed.

Just a heads up because i didn't realize all of the incurred costs down the ladder. Heck, i'd even send it to a high-rep member
on this forum to send it in for me if that would have saved me $150 bucks.

But thanks everyone for your opinions, i will always check here first before anywhere else
