[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 2125636, member: 1765"]That might not be the case. PCGS is currently running a 5 for the price of 4 Lincoln cent submission. If you have 4 others, it might be worth it. If you don't, someone else might. If you were to sell it raw, you don't need to get people to believe "MS64" as much as you need them to believe "$65" (or whatever the price). Put a grade on a raw coin and you're (a) asking for an argument, and (b) leading the buyer to infer that the coin would grade no higher than MS64.
