<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 626637, member: 15110"]Thad- this is where you have to ask yourself why you collect, why you submit coins, and what is the future of your collection? Are you ok with the undergraded coin in the holder? Do you plan on selling? Registry? If your in the registry (I don't think you are as it seems you have lot of raw coins) it would be irritating. Do you collect for the beauty of the coins? Are you competitive (I am- so is RLM <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />encil:, at least by my deduction:hail<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? Who will inherit these coins? Are you ok to lose money on the coin in the short run (in too deep on the coin) for the grade you want? My be getting too deep but they are relevant questions on a potential crack out, etc. I personally would actually crack out and send to PCGS. In fact have someone big dog coin person submit for you. Maybe Jack or Mark or whoever you know could submit. I'm empassioned about this because I have been there and cracked out and often got the result I wanted. A dealer friend who does over a million a year in product (not profit), and he will resubmit when he is confident in the grade. He has done it 2-3 times on the same coin where the grade was a big $ difference and got the result he believed he should. I think the question of wear on this coin is very borderline and the eye appeal should tip it to an MS 63 RB +.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
