<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2861304, member: 73983"]As a young numismatist I would encourage you to submit your coin to CAC. However, having said that, it would make better economic sense to send a few others in as well. While $13.50 is not a bad price, the shipping alone will be around 3 times that. CAC sends everything back to you via Registered Mail. So adding additional coins to your submission will help distribute the shipping cost across multiple coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Something else to keep in mind, if you submit through a dealer, you will be charged $13.50 no matter if the coin passes or not. If you send it in through a collector member, then you are only charged if the coin passes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a collector membership as do others on this forum. I have found CAC to be invaluable to me as a method of developing my eye for nice coins. While I don't have the budget to dabble in the higher priced coins that some do, I still feel that the education I am getting in the lower priced coins will help me down the road. In fact I just submitted 3 coins on mine and all 3 passed with one going gold. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot say for sure if the coin that you showed in the images above will get a gold bean or even a green bean, I won't discourage you from submitting it, because I think the education you could get from it might be invaluable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
