<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 2828428, member: 87737&quot;]I know the question has been more then satisfactorily answered, but it&#039;s late, and I&#039;m bored, so you get my 2¢ on this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not a Morgan guy, so I&#039;ll skip that coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Franklin (which I do collect) looks like a nice original coin in decent condition, but it&#039;s too worn to be worth much. Even if it was uncirculated with full bell lines (FBL), &#039;63-D&#039;s just don&#039;t have enough value to justify grading fees, unless you get into the MS-65 range. Even the &#039;63-P FBL isn&#039;t worth much under MS-64.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Buffalo (also of which I do not collect), looks like it&#039;s been harshly cleaned, and/or polished, so you&#039;d end up with what&#039;s called a &#039;details&#039; coin, killing the value. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I agree these don&#039;t warrant grading. As an fyi, while PCGS and NGC are the tops, ANACS is right there up there with them, and their fees are considerably less. My rule of thumb for grading is if the coin is worth $200 or more, you need variety/error attribution, or you need a decently valuable coin ($100 and up) authenticated. If you&#039;re having a coin graded with the intent of keeping it for your personal collection, ANACS is (IMO) the way to go. If you&#039;re planning on reselling the coin quickly, then go to PCGS or NGC (I prefer NGC over PCGS, personally), as buyers pay more for coins in those slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dunno if that helped any, but it gave me something to do at 12 am, so thanks! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
