Picked up an 1852 capped bust dime that is toned. Looks pretty good, and much better in hand. What would you value it at, and does the toning, in your opinion, add any value?
Hello, Digging thru some coins, not sure where I even got this one. Even the cardboard holder is old. Is it worth sending to pcgs ? 1825 50 c
I say no. Keep it for yourself. Seriously, you wouldn't be able to recoup your money unless you just want a fancy holder. I'd say put it in one yourself for a coin in this condition.
There is a curled base two and a square base two. The square base is the more common and I think that puts yours in the $250.00 range. Now for me that puts it in the slab category. I try to slab all my coins worth more than $200.00 to keep them safe for the next generation of collectors. It’s a mighty good looking half. Perfect candidate for ICG. They will slab it for you in the twenty dollar range.
Wello, PCGS has finally (on time) graded this VF 1825 50c. Came back as VF35. As shown above on the cardboard holder someone judged it as VF. So I guess I'm happy. Wanted XF but don't we all.
The reverse has a cleaned look to me. I don't think that it's worth spending the money to slab it. Time was $200 was the guideline, but now with higher slabbing fees and postage, I'd say the number is more like $400.
It's stabbed and in the mail. Pcgs cost 77, mail 33, so 100, coin cost 10, so 110 total. Good for me. Better than a card board slab.
