<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 3276690, member: 22377&quot;]Start by examining the cost of grading vs the cost of buying the coin already graded. If it will cost you $20 for grading but you can buy the same type of coin already in a holder for $10-$15, then it is not worth it to spend money on grading (unless there is some strong sentimental reason for grading the coin).</p><p><br /></p><p>Toning can change the equation as a coin might be worth $10 without color but many multiples if it’s attractively toned.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no accepted standard or dollar amount where it is worth slabbing. That is for you to personally decide. A good starting point is to see if the price of the raw coin plus the grading fee is less than that of similar graded examples (then it might be worth grading).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
