<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 563876, member: 13650&quot;]I&#039;d say it&#039;s not worth it.&nbsp; There&#039;s an over abundance of 69 Silver eagles everywhere you look.&nbsp;&nbsp; They sell them in magazines that have nothing to do with coins.&nbsp; They sell them on the tv shows.&nbsp;&nbsp; Coin magazines are full of them.&nbsp; &nbsp; Isn&#039;t there anything else you&#039;d be curious to know what grade they would receive?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You&#039;re welcome to try but it&#039;s just my opinion.&nbsp; There&#039;s a good chance all of them come back as 69s and you won&#039;t be able to sell them for anymore than they were worth loose.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp; Where on the other hand, even a low grade EF capped bust half for example, can be worth a lot more if the grade is known.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe Silver eagles and modern commems are usually automatically assumed to be at least 69s from the mint because they should be!!&nbsp; Anything less is usually obvious.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Like gmarguli said, let the dealers send the batches in at a reduced cost to find out what are 70s.&nbsp; Than keep an eye on ebay for them as they come out (each year).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I got a 2008-W $1 silver eagle NGC PF70 UC on ebay for 83 bucks a couple months ago.&nbsp; Free shipping.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The coin would have orginally cost about 40 dollars from the mint to begin with, plus 15 dollars for a grading fee, plus shipping from both places.&nbsp; &nbsp; The seller wasn&#039;t happy that was all he got for it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Maybe the 08s or the 09s will be the expensive ones in the future.&nbsp;&nbsp; Get them now, already graded and then you won&#039;t have to pay $500 to get one down the road or waste money on grading bullion coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
