[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 855109, member: 705"]Let me just put it this way - I haven't heard of there being much a problem with fake 1938-D's So here is the question I guess that would bring it down to a good clear answer.... How much do you have in the coin? Who are you wanting to send it to? (NGC, PCGS, ANACS, ICG) How are you planing on selling it? The reason I'm asking is this - if you have lets say $85 in the coin, and the going rate is (I have NOT looked this up so I have no idea what the going rate for this coin is) $100, then it really isn't going to be a good idea to send it to NGC. Grading is going to cost at least $25 and you are going to have to send more than one coin to meet the MIN. limit. If you are planing to sell it on ebay then you have to take their fee's into the math as well - so if you have $85 + $25 = $110....we are already over the ammount you will clear from the sale. NOW....if you have $2 in the coin, and the going rate is $100, then MAYBE, just MAYBE, we should go the next step and look to see if a slabbed coin in that grade is bringing more than a raw one in the same grade. IF the price different from raw to slabbed is more than....eh.....$30, then maybe it would be ok to go ahead and have it slabbed. so...that is my 2cents! :D Speedy[/QUOTE]
