<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3703716, member: 84179&quot;][USER=104824]@Juggalo[/USER] getting a coin graded and/or authenticated is going to run $20-$30 for a lower tier TPG or $50-60 for PCGS or NGC.&nbsp; New collectors don&#039;t always know the costs of grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Minor die chips are a relatively common error and rarely carry a premium.&nbsp; Occasionally, somebody will try to hype them on ebay with a fancy name, but generally error are not going to pay extra for them.&nbsp; So, does it make sense to pay the fees to have it graded when it&#039;s unlikely you&#039;ll ever recoup your costs? </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW: Based on your pics, I think what you see are dents and nicks, not a die chip.&nbsp; A die chip is raised and your coin looks like it is indented (and maybe some displaced metal around the edges), indicating it took a hit.&nbsp; Sometimes we&#039;ll see optical illusions in the pic, so take an <u><b>objective</b></u> look at the coin again and see if you see any indents.&nbsp; It will be a good learning exercise.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
