<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 127908, member: 1674&quot;]I seriously doubt that a different photo/scan would change my opinion of the grade or value, your scan was adequate.&nbsp; Additionally, the strength of LIBERTY is irrelevant when grading busties, it is so deeplyimpressed by the die that it is sharp even into the lowest grades.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Those white sleeves are called &quot;two-by-twos&quot; (referring to their 2x2 inch size).&nbsp; They cost about $3 for one hundred pieces.&nbsp; You could buy them and then &quot;grade&quot; your coins whatever you want, but be aware that unless you pay the fees to have it professionally graded by&nbsp; NGC, ANACS, ICG, or PCGS then your &quot;grade&quot; will be recognized by potential bidders for what it is, the opinion of someone the bidder doesn&#039;t know or respect, and it will be discounted in their minds.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are certainly dealers in NYC, but I don&#039;t know where they are, it&#039;s just been too long since I was there last.&nbsp; If you want to have a rough idea of grading then Speedy&#039;s recommendation of picking up the ANA grading Guide is a good one.&nbsp; You can get a used copy on eBay for about $10.&nbsp; A copy of the Red Book (Officail title is &quot;A Guide Book of United States Coins&quot;) will give you a rough estimate of coin values (it is printed 18 months in advance, so be aware that the values can be rather inaccurate).&nbsp; If you really want to see a dealer then you could pay for an insurance appraisal from a dealer and in that you would receive his grades or you could ask for the dealer to make you an offer for the coins and have him let you know which coins are the most valuable individually.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t sell, though, you need to be aware that you may be burning a bridge with that dealer for future business.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No Problem!&nbsp; good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
