<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 2851366, member: 74624"]I'm helping an elderly lady sell her late mothers coin collection. Most of the collection contained modern coins and common silver and gold bullion. I took her to a local coin dealer who paid a fair price for that. I separated out a few coins which I feel will be worth the cost for sending in for grading and attributing and then to auction since the reward is higher. Three of the coins were MS large cents with one possibly a 66. The dealer wouldn't risk taking a chance on paying what they nay be worth; especially if they don't grade that high and are determined to have been cleaned at one time. My feeling is that they will get straight grades. Another is a 1896-S Morgan which should grade high enough to warrant the cost of grading. The same is true for the others. I think the worse case is that she will get back the grading fee over what the dealer would have paid. I'll only send in coins worth at least several hundred dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
