It wasn&#039;t this way before the spawn of third-party grading/certification companies in the mid/late 1980&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third-parties will authenticate and attribute your coin, as well as assign it a numeric grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Certifying your particular coin (as mentioned) would be pricey. You&#039;ll probably be out $75-$80 when all is said and done. I believe the fee just to have an error coin <b>looked at</b> by PCGS&#039;s &quot;board of experts&quot; is $40-$45. </p><p><br /></p><p>But you must remember that shelling out the extra money to have a coin certified could result in a substantial return, compared to if you were to sell it raw and uncertified.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
