<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1535678, member: 15929&quot;]Wow! How many times has some person come on here (or any chat board for that matter) claiming that they know exactly what they have? (the mansionshop)</p><p><br /></p><p>What can you do to best maximize your profit? </p><p><br /></p><p>Simple. Since you know exactly what it is but you&#039;re a nobody with no notable credentials, there will always be skepticism regarding your diagnosis. As such you&#039;ll have to have it graded and slabbed as a 90% Silver 1965 Washington Quarter by either PCGS or NGC. Until then, nobody will ever believe you as you&#039;ll always fall into the &quot;Yeah Right!&quot; crowd. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, thasts not meant as an insult. Being referred to as a nobody I mean. It simply means that folks have no idea who you are. And since they don;t know you, you&#039;re just another fellow claiming to have found a real rarity. This 90% Silver Quarter subject comes up a lot lately as everybody seems to find them. And BTW, there is no such thing as a 90% Pure Silver Quarter. There are 90% Silver Quarters, there are 40% Silver Clad Quarters and there are copper nickel clad (cnClad) quarters but so far, the United States Mint has never produced a &quot;pure silver quarter&quot;. (i.e. 100% = Pure Silver)</p><p><br /></p><p>So there you have it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Contact PCGS and join their Collectors Club. </p><p><br /></p><p>I doubt, given your responses, that you&#039;ll trust a Coin Dealer with submitting your coin. It&#039;ll come back as a regular cnclad coin and you&#039;ll claim he ripped you off. We&#039;ve all heard that one too. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, you&#039;ll have to submit it yourself. You&#039;ll also have to trust the US Postal Service AND PCGS since they&#039;ll be handling your coin for delivery and grading. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can&#039;t deal with that then you&#039;ll have to hand deliver it. </p><p>I&#039;d recommend waiting for a National Coin Show thats close to you where PCGS is in attendance and that way you could join and submit all in the same trip. </p><p><br /></p><p>Better yet, wait for the Longbeach Coin Show or perhaps a National Show where one of the PCGS Biggies will evaluate your coin and make recommendations to you. David Hall and Don Willis do this all the time. If they agree with you about the coin, they personally get it submitted for you. If it&#039;s actually a 1965 Silver Washington, you might even get it graded for free.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best of Luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
