Should She Be Interred in TPG Plastic?

@Randy Abercrombie It’s worth the cost to slab her. Beautiful coin.

@Randy Abercrombie that's a beautiful coin. You've got good taste buddy.

As for slabbing it? Wholeheartedly agree with the consensus. Get that puppy entombed and leave it to your lucky heirs without any questions unanswered.

Keep us posted regarding its grade. Good luck my friend. Crossing my fingers for 65 for ya.

 

Just send it in its a beautiful coin one I hope to own some dayI would hate for something to happen to it.

 

Sounds like you've made up your mind to send it in. I think you will be happy and can rest assured for its future. Post us when you get it back.

 

Let us know what it grades!

 

I would get it slabbed. Easier to sell and it would confirm whether or not it's counterfeit. I assume yours is real but with so many counterfeits on the market these days the slab would give you peace of mind.

 

Tell us how she grades.

 

I will pass on the info. Thanks everyone.

 

I agree with all the other people here who would choose having it certified rather than leaving it raw. The main reason, IMO, is so that it will be easier for your heirs to sell without getting ripped off too badly. There are lots of "skunks" out there who would tell your heirs that it's a nice AU and then offer a price commensurate with its bullion value.

 

Oh, I also agree with the protective value of its being in a slab.

 

-Blast, no. She deserves to be interred in something like this.....

Ever the event of tactile contact not afforded by entombment in an TPG slab.

 

Interesting perspective on slabbing. "Go Army Beat Navy"

 

Randy, I think it's a good idea to get it slabbed by PCGS . It looks like your $20 would grade no less than MS64 & might make MS65, it's hard to guess from photos. When it's time to sell or trade the slab helps . Pictured below is my Liberty $20.

 

I would slab it, easier to sell whenever you decide to

 

Devils Advocate: get it mounted and wear it on a necklace for a decade or so.

 

With the price of gold where it is there are probably many non numismatists buying US pre-1933. I would assume having the coin authenticated would be a plus with those people.

 

Oh, John.... That was bad! LOL

 

I think you have it backwards. It's GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!! The cat I use as an identifier was for my father's WW 2 navy Helldiver squadron. USS Princetion CVL-23 sunk 10-24-1944.

 

That is an old holder from about 20 years ago. I clicked on one that showed up an ad that popped up here which Heritage sold in February. It was graded MS-65, and Ms. Liberty’s cheek looked like it had been run over with track shoes. If that’s the new standard, Randy’s coin is a shoe-in for MS-65.

Of the selling price was at $2,000 lower than it had been for common date MS-65 graded coins in the past. “If the gators don’t get you, the mosquitoes will.” Still that’s at least $1,000 more than an old time MS-64 would have brought.

Getting a $20 Liberty into an MS-65 holder used to be difficult.

Here we go! It cropped up again. These are the Heritage photos. Liberty $20 gold coins like this didn't used to make MS-65.

 

Yes sir. Wow, mine is a better coin than that.
