<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 8074115, member: 13650"]Yup. By the time you add on shipping and grading fees you could have bought an NGC MS64 version already slabbed. I've sent quite a few in for grading over the years. On classics it seems there's an above average chance they will find problems with the coin one way or another. I just submitted a buffalo nickel I was sure was MS63 or higher and it came back whizzed! And it's not easy to see but maybe can tell now. Now it's in my collection as a learning tool.</p><p> Morgans are very common. You honestly need something really spectacular to make it worth submitting for grading. There's no $50 Morgan I would send in to get graded. I'd expand that to no $100 Morgan I'd send in to be graded. They're just too common already graded without paying for the risk yourself.</p><p><br /></p><p> Another thing you're going to find in most series as a "general" rule.... just about anything worth grading has already been submitted for grading. If it looks really nice and shiny and not in a slab there's a high probability it's been cleaned and nobody wanted to send it in , or it's already been in an AU details slab and somebody cracked it out to get more money for it as an unknown raw coin. This happens all the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
