<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3661025, member: 17665"]As Johndoe says, yes, at least in the right ballpark. Under valuing a coin, in the case of a possible loss through the mail could have serious consequences when trying to make a claim with the carrier. The same could hold true for over valuing a coin. The best advice anyone could give would be to learn the basics of grading before undertaking having coins certified and slabbed. If in doubt about grading yourself, if you have a good relationship with a local coin dealer, they might be willing to help you with this as long as they are not busy. By not learning grading basics you run the risk of thinking off hand that your coin is worth much more than it really is and you could wind up getting a real, but nasty surprise when it comes back either body bagged or graded much lower than your expectations. And this could be a costly venture in grading/slabbing fees. Doug's advice, above this post is good advice also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
