<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 7951478, member: 92083&quot;]I would say $35-$50 is fair for an AU coin, maybe $25-40 for an XF. Yet right now the error market is way up, so I can&#039;t say with certainty you paid too much. And if you really wanted it and are happy with it, then it really doesn&#039;t matter. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, putting it in a slab for certification (which I do not at all recommend for this coin) <i><u>does not make the coin itself worth more money.</u></i> That is a financial burden the submitter must eat as many people - myself included - don&#039;t care you spent an additional $75 for certification/shipping. That $50 coin is still worth $50.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only recommend slabbing a coin if it is worth a considerable amount of money and you plan on submitting it for an auction. High-value coins (e.g. 1955 doubled dies) can go higher slabbed than if raw, but not by all that much. A smart buyer knows a good coin when he/she sees it. <u>Buy the coin, not the holder</u>...and don&#039;t expect me to pay more for your coins because it&#039;s in plastic with a label.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
