Here are two raw German pieces I'd love grade and/or send off to be slabbed input on...man, that's a terribly crafted sentence.
Here are a couple shots after a short acetone bath. Not sure how much it helped but thought I'd post them anyway.
They are both somewhat better date/mints, but unfortunately the cost of slabbing them will be more than they are worth.
1st coin. Germany/Weimar Republic, 1926-G, 1 Reichsmark , .500 silver, mintage-3,410,000. grade/values 2016 World coin catalog KM#44 F-$14.00 VF-$35.00 XF-$80.00 MS60-$230 MS63-$280 not sure what your coins grade is VF-XF ?
2nd Coin. Germany/Empire. 1909-G, 1 mark, .900 silver, mintage-854,000 grade/values 2016 World coin catalog KM#14 F-$8.00 VF-$16.00 XF-$38.00 MS60-$150- MS63-$200 not sure what your coins grade is VF-XF ?
@spirityoda , thanks for the input. I figured they were both on the wrong side of the VF/XF or XF/AU borderline. Really cool coins nevertheless in my opinion.
As one guilty of slabbing 'pocket change' and/or coins worth less than the slabbing, I would say it all depends on why you want to. Uniformity of storage? Completing a series/type set? Protection? Curious about grading opinions and/or genuine? If any of the above (or your own reasons) apply, then go for it. For example, one of my side projects is a slabbed version of the Dansco Japan Type, with an eye to updating to the current year, which means adding an Emperor, ie. pocket change. I have sent in many coins with the stated value of '$5'. Or less. Just so my slabbed series is as complete as my raw set in the album. I just keep imagining the graders scratching their heads and laughing at the submission.
I collect German coins, as I have said many times here. I put my better coins which are not good enough to be graded into everslabs to protect them. My copies of each of these coins are a higher grade than your and are still only in Everslabs, not graded.
