I have a 1964 proof set I'm thinking of having the Kennedy half graded Pgcs said they accept coins in Mylar flips I don't wanna have the whole set graded do I just cut the Kennedy half out I don't wanna touch it to put in a flip what do I need to do?
What grade do you suspect it is? Why wouldn't you put it in a flip? For one thing, to accurately assess a grade in order to make the determination if it would be worth sending in, I would think you would have to take it out of the packaging.
I'd just cut around the edges of it keeping it sealed, slip it into a flip still encased in the soft plastic and send it in. That's what I do with NGC when I have coins I cut from mint sets. Never get a complaint about the way I sent them in.
I would purchase an already graded 1964 Kennedy Proof instead of sending in a single coin which would be quite expensive.
Gotta concur with Lee. You want this coin graded, buy it graded. It's not likely you'll hit a home run with this submission. However, if ya think so, post a pic so we's can chew the fat........
Not saying this is the best coin, or the best price, but here is an example of a nice gem without the cost or effort of sending you raw coin in: 1964 Proof Kennedy Half Dollar NGC PF68 ~$45
It doesn't appear to be a cameo or anything truly special, so having it graded at PCGS with fees and Shipping and insurance both ways you will spend between $40 and $50 to have a slabbed half dollar worth about $14. It that is acceptable to you then go ahead.
mine looks in good shape believe it would get a high grade PF makes it more valuable but it's just a shot in the dark but you never know it may be a 69 or 70
It may be. But the reason those highest-grade coins are worth so much is because they're very, very rare. Honestly, you'd probably get a higher expected return by taking that grading fee and playing the lottery.
