[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3015, member: 112"]If the coins you have are indeed as you describe them - yes they are worth a good deal of money. And having them certified & graded would be an excellent idea. However - I think I might choose another submission tier besides the $50 express. You have 7 coins there that may prove to be very valuable - or they may not. With your PCGS membership you should get 4 free submissions - I suggest you use them. As for the remaining 3 coins I would submit them at the cheapest submission tier you can. The reason for this is simple. Many of these kind of coins were counterfeited over the years. I am not saying your coins were - just that it is possible. And for you to spend $350 and then receive nothing in return - well you understand. It is also possible that the coins may be not be gradable. They could be altered, damaged, cleaned or any of several other things that would prevent them being graded. If this was so - you would still be out the $350 and again have nothing in return. I sincerely hope that my worst case scenario does not come to pass - but you must always remember that it may and do what you can to lessen the potential cost. I wish you the best of luck and look forward to hearing what the results turn out to be.[/QUOTE]
