[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 182640, member: 705"]You have gotten some good tips and such here---and I agree with almost everything- I would NOT go by the price guide at PCGS---they are over hyped and many times the coins aren't worth what their guide says. You need to sit down and get a Red Book and go coin by coin and make a list--then check the Red Book (The prices in it are almost as bad as PCGS) and check to see what ones look like they might be more $$$...the Red Book's value might be alittle better... OR post the list here and we can point out what ones might be worth sending off--I would send them to NGC that way you don't have to find a PCGS dealer. I would also point out that I wouldn't hold the coins by cloth--I'm going to get black-balled here but I would suggest bare fingers....that is all I use and I don't know of any dealer that uses gloves...they don't give you the grip and the cloth may put hairlines on the coins that is hard to see but lowers the value tons. HOLD the coin by the edges (RIM) and put that cloth under where you are holding it so if you do drop it it doesn't hit a hard floor. If you have any questions just post here! Speedy[/QUOTE]
