<p>[QUOTE="meta, post: 3023, member: 442"]Thanks for the reply. I had the coins looked at by an area coin dealer and he `graded' them as MS63 and 62. The reason I say `Graded' is because I later found out through another forum that this particular dealer is quite well known for intentionally undergrading coins when in a situation with someone who knows little or nothing about the true value/grade of a coin. As for their legitimacy, the fact that a very shrewd dealer offered me almost 10k for the coins tells me they are indeed quite legit.....non-counterfeit. There was also a note from my grandmother as to where they came from: a gift from a friend in 1962. As for sending them into PCGS economy class, the maximum value a coin can have for economy status is $300. For regular service its $3000. If I am correct that the majority will grade MS65, then they are all worth more than 3k each. In any case, I have heard that Express special grading can sometimes yield a better grade. Who knows if this is true or not, but it can't hurt. My real concern is whether they are better being submitted together or as individuals at different times. Either way its a bit of a crap shoot I suppose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
