<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1580158, member: 112&quot;]Simple answer, if the coin is not worth $150-$200 then don&#039;t bother spending the money to get it slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course that presents you with other questions, like how do you tell what the coin is worth ? Well, you sampled a bit of that already. One guy says XF40, another says AU50 - so which is it ? The answer to that is you don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, assuming you decide on a grade, you have to look up what that coin in that grade sells for. So where do you look to find that information ? In XF40 Numismedia says it&#039;s worth approx $300, PCGS says it&#039;s worth $650. Pretty big difference, which one do you believe ? It&#039;s kind of the same problem you have deciding which of those guys grading the coin to believe isn&#039;t it ?</p><p><br /></p><p>And there are no recent sales of that coin in XF40 in the Heritage archives. The most recent was almost 4 years ago and that was for a coin in a 45 slab that sold for $460. And if you search the records for sales in the AU range, the price roughly triples for a 53 or 55.</p><p><br /></p><p>But if the coin were to end up being graded VF, then the price drops to under $300, for a problem free example. It could range from $150- $350, depending on which source you use. And if the TPG determines it is not problem free, and looking at the coin that is possible in my opinion - then all of that goes out the window and prices drop substantially. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I&#039;m trying to say is you have a lot of questions but no real answers. And even if you send the coin in to PCGS, and get it graded, you still won&#039;t know what it&#039;ll sell for until you actually sell it. But you kind of have a rough idea of a range now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course none of this has anything to do with the 50 Morgan &amp; Peace dollars you mentioned. But the process is the same to find out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
