<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4855008, member: 101855&quot;][USER=114371]@Buttons[/USER], it all depends upon what these better coins are worth. The rule of thumb used to be a value of $200 before you even considered getting a coin certified. Today that number has got to higher, perhaps $300 to $400, given the cost of slabbing plus the shipping fees which have increased significantly. </p><p><br /></p><p>In addition you also have to know how to grade and spot problem coins. A coin might catalog for the required amount, but if it’s got something wrong with it, it’s not worth that. </p><p><br /></p><p>A trusted dealer, or an expert collector friend might help you. You could also post some pictures here in the U.S. and ancient coin areas. I am not sure how much ancient coin certification will help you. Those collectors and dealers are not as sold on certification as the U.S. collectors are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
