I would like to have the input of members who spent much more time on coins than I do. So, if you could spare a moment to help me. I paid $11 for a 1946 Full Bands PCGS MS65 Roosevelt Dime Omaha Bank Hoard. I paid $7 for 2009S PCGS PR66 PROFESSIONAL LIFE Lincoln cent And I paid $10 for the 2005 Uncirculatedmint set 22 coins. Thank you for your time.
Can't drag 'em dear fellow. You have to upload them. Go to manage attatchments (it's under "additional options" at the bottom of your post. just scroll down).
Doesn't it cost more than $5 for PCGS to grade these coins? I have seen ms 64 to 66 graded and slabbed, state quarters being sold on ebay for about a dollar with $2.50 shipping. Is this a good deal?
yes and no. Yes it costs a minimum of $10 unless they got a free grading. No as in they are clad and wont increase in value. Most people submit coins with the idea that they will get back some 70s which will way exceed the loss that they will take on the 69s. for example 10 Proof Presidential dollars submitted to the PCGS total cost in grading $130+/-. % come back 70 brings $300 roughly on ebay. The 5 PR69s bring $40 roughly. So it is profitable for the seller and the buyer gets a good deal. But it is pretty rare to get half of the coins back in Proof 70 from the PCGS
