I have a question before I give you an estimated value. Are the 1922 and 1924 just from the philidalphia mint or do they bear the Denver or San Francisco MM? Maybe around $700-800 dollars depending if they are MS or not. They look high grade with minimal if any wear. Also if there is no MM on the coins then they would be worth the affirmentioned value.
nope, its a philly minted. what is the markings below the date, the artist? wow these are gorgeously made...
slabbed means to pay a pay a third party grading company to encapsulate the coin in a hard plastic protective holder (commonly called a slab) with their opinion as to its grade on an insert in the holder.
where can i get that done usually? can i look in the phone book or do i have to send away for that? what would some of you guys grade my coins based on the scans alone?
To grade a coin you would need photos of both sides---- Grading is not something in the phone book....you would need to send them to PCGS/NGC/ICG or ANACS....you can search for them on Google and see their prices...it would cost about $20-$30 each coin....but IMHO its not really needed. Speedy
Well the top three grading companies are PCGS, ANACS, and NGC... PCGS requires you to be a member to submit to them directly, or can find a PCGS authorized dealer to submit them for you... http://www.pcgs.com NGC requires you to be an ANA member to submit to them directly, or can find an ANA authorized dealer to submit them for you... http://www.ngccoin.com/ ANACS is the only oe of the big three that allows you to submit directly without a membership (why they're my preference to grading)... http://www.anacs.com Those links abonve should give you whatever info you need as to how to get them graded. When you send the coins make sure to send them with delivery confirmation and insurance. I'd put the coins in mylar flips, then wrap the flips in bubble wrap to keep them moving around in the package. Tape the outside of the package securely. Grading doesn't truly add any value... but it attatches a professional opinion of the grade to the coin, plus puts in an a protective holder. Having them in slabs will help protect the resale value because it gives buyers confidence in what they're buying.
i cant get them slabbed without being graded? i have to send in? i mean the price i pay and the time i wait for all that to happen, might not even be worth my while./
Big Z, Thank you sir. There was a fellow over on the PCGS list who "Jay B" who said it was a MS-62 or 63 a year or so ago. There are a couple of bag marks on it and gold is soft, so... Take Care B
