<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4062220, member: 105571&quot;]I think slabbing it is probably not economical.&nbsp; I have not attempted to grade your coin but Graysheet bid on MS-65RB is $60 and $115 in MS-65R.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what your grading, handling and shipping costs will be for one coin but I suspect around $30?&nbsp; A rule of thumb I&#039;ve seen bandied about is that it&#039;s usually considered not worth it unless the coin is worth at least $300 or there is a really big jump in value to the next higher grade.&nbsp; I&#039;ve really given your 1909 VDB the benefit of the doubt for this discussion by valuing it at MS-65RB or Red.&nbsp; Do you think it would grade higher?&nbsp; If you really think is would grade at 66RB&nbsp; or Red, then it might be worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you may have personal reasons for wanting to have it slabbed and those are just as valid as any financial reasons.&nbsp; I just think most folks would not consider it an attractive economics proposition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have never sent a coin in for grading and my opinion is not derived from experience so take it for whatever you think it&#039;s worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
