If you have one in hand that&#039;s a clear 61 or 62, you sell it on raw. If it looks like a solid 63 with a shot at 64, maybe you send it off to be graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, FWIW, the cost for GSA grading at PCGS is higher than you think. The upcharge for the giant plastic tomb itself is $20 (<a href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-encapsulates-gsa-hoard-silver-dollar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-encapsulates-gsa-hoard-silver-dollar" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/news/pcgs-encapsulates-gsa-hoard-silver-dollar</a>)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
