<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1603148, member: 11854&quot;]Getting them graded is a losing proposition.&nbsp; This is the most common Lincoln Wheat cent and they are still out there in mint state condition by the millions, no doubt.&nbsp; I&#039;ve checked completed ebay auctions and you are correct that around $34 they seem to sell.&nbsp; However, having a handful of &quot;like new&quot; cents is entirely different than having someone who is expert at grading go through hundreds or even thousands of cents to send in the few best pieces.&nbsp; These MS66 coins that are graded are generally not sent in at random and are the result of long searches for the best coins.&nbsp; The odds are that if you sent all 47-coins in then you would be in the hole for quite a bit of money without any hope of digging out.&nbsp; If you use PCGS, which is the only company that will garner routinely large prices, then you will be paying $20 each to have the coins graded plus invoice fees and shipping both ways.&nbsp; It might work out to $24 per coin.&nbsp; Any coin less than MS66 will sell for less than $24 and it is likely you would have few, if any, MS66 coins.&nbsp; Right out of the box you would be underwater.&nbsp; Then you must take into account ebay and PayPal fees (about 13%) plus shipping to the buyer.&nbsp; You will lose money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
